How can I disable "moves, bold" feature on my Messages App?

Is there any way I can DISABLE this new feature in iMessage that the text "moves, bolds, etc." I have had it happen a few times while I am typing a text. Even though I did NOT intentionally turn it on. Then I could not figure out how to stop it.

You can't disable it. However, if you learn how it works, you may be able to avoid activating it accidentally.

Apple doesn't read here in this user-to-user forum for feedback or suggestions, no matter how much you shout. However, you can let them know your thoughts here:

Based on the fact that you can't turn off other, similar features in Messages, I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you. People used to complain a lot about getting unwanted behavior when they pressed send. They were holdint it too long. I don't see many of those complaints anymore. People adjusted. You will probably learn to adjust to this, too.
