Current behavior

When you create a checkbox in markdown using an uppercase X (e.g. * [X]), you cannot uncheck it in the preview pane.
If you create a checkbox in markdown using a lowercase x (e.g. * [x]), the functionality works as expected (you can check and uncheck the box in the preview pane).

Expected behavior

When you click the checkbox on the preview pane, it should update the markdown accordingly to check or uncheck the checkbox.

Steps to reproduce

Create a markdown checkbox with an uppercase X instead of lowercase x (e.g * [X] instead of * [x]).
Click on the checkbox in the preview pane.
