Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a Text component with a 'htmlText' value of something like "<p>valid text</p><li>List Item 1<li>List Item 2</li><p>more text</p>"
2. Update the 'htmlText' value later on to something else (i.e. "<p>final valid text for text component 1</p>")

Actual Results after updating htmlText value (* used to represent bullet):

• final valid text for text component 1

Expected Results:
final valid text for text component 1

Workaround (if any):
Always include the ending '</li>' tag

Using the debugger, I was able to see the actual 'htmlText' value after updating had extra "<li>" tags in the content...
<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><LI><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#0B333C" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">final valid text for text component 1</FONT></LI></TEXTFORMAT>

I've attached a simple test app. that displays the problem.
