How to avoid segmentation of two blocks of words between brackets

Question

Hi! 
 I am using Studio 2022 SR2 
 I am working on a json file and I noticed that all segments with this format: 
 
 "(*Fig.*) (Schema di montaggio della rete RS)" 
 
 are always shown on two different segments

They belong to the same Key and I need them on the same line

To move to a paragraph segmentation is not an option since, in other cases, it makes sense it follows the normal segmentation rule (i.e. full stop) 
 Is there a way to tell the TM not to segment when 2 blocks of words are within brackets (if this is the actual reason)? 
 
 Thank you!

Hi Paul, that's exactly the reason, the TM was created in a different tool and is now making me lose leverage for those segments. 
 But... thanks to your comment I think I managed to find the rule, I have added the asterix to the exclusion list in full stop rule! 
 \.+[\p{Pe}\p{Pf}\p{Po}"-[\u002C\u003A\u003B \u002A \u055D\u060C\u061B\u0703\u0704\u0705\u0706\u0707\u0708\u0709\u07F8\u1363\u1364\u1365\u1366\u1802\u1804\u1808\u204F\u205D\u3001\uA60D\uFE10\uFE11\uFE13\uFE14\uFE50\uFE51\uFE54\uFE55\uFF0C\uFF1A\uFF1B\uFF64]]* 
 it now looks as I intended!!

thank you so much for your help as usual!

 I think it's actually the asterisk as it might be seen as formatting used for emphasis like a heading for example. I have no real evidence for this, but noted that if I remove them the segmentation doesn't occur.

 Right now I don't, but I'll investigate a little with the dev team today. 
 I do wonder why you want to prevent this though? It looks like a desirable feature since you'd get better leverage when it's segmented. 
 I guess if you are using a TM that was created by some tool that didn't do that then now you don't get the matches and perhaps that's the reason?
