Hello,
I've got =(setq org-hide-emphasis-markers t)= in my config, and
it's mostly great but it does confuse me when I manually start
sub-sub headings. (Which perhaps is a silly thing to do, but
getting over muscle memory is hard to change.) After typing the
third =*= (and on any subsequent ones typed) the first and last
asterisks are hidden and the remaining appear bolded, until I type
a space when what I'm typing is suddenly recognised as a heading
and snaps back to displaying all the typed asterisks as expected.
I couldn't figure out how to post a video, so visually, here is
what I see. One character typed on each line (comments after =;=):
: *
: **
: * ; this is in bold
: ** ; this is in bold
: **** ; asterisks no longer bold after typing a space
I tried adding an asterisks to the BORDER characters in
org-emphasis-regexp-components, but that didn't seem to help.
PS: I realise that ironing out all visual niggles here is perhaps
not possible, and perhaps me just learning to use the Org
functions for inserting headings would hide the problem from me,
but I decided to report it in case it turns out to be simple to
find an acceptable fix for someone.

It is something to be expected with a non-nil
`org-hide-emphasis-markers'. "***" at the beginning of the line is
really a bold asterisk, whereas "*** " is a headline.
I suggest to use M-RET to circumvent the problem. You will quickly get
used to it.
Regards,
