Problem
As the title says, TextService:GetTextBoundsAsync does not detect or respect rich text. This is a problem when text is sent that contains markup for rich text. The result is that the bounds ends up being incorrect.

Expectations
What I expect to happen is for TextService:GetTextBoundsAsync() to detect and remove rich text formatting before determining what the text bounding box is.
