9444 - Applying bold to para with first-letter style deletes text

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 6059

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect, P3)

Description

[Simon Fraser [no longer active]]

In the editor, apply the 'Editor Styles 1' stylesheet. Select some text in the
middle of the paragraph which starts "Here is some very run-o-the-mill...", then
hit the bold button on the paragraph.

You loose all the text up to the character after the end of where the selection
was. This is pretty serious lossage.

Note that the stylesheet has p:first-letter styles.

Simon: sorry, I don't have a current build or I'd test this myself.  Is this a
content manipulation problem or a display problem?  That is, do you really
"loose" the content (dump HTML and examine the output, is the text really
missing?) or is it just that the text isn't displayed after the change?  If it's
the first, assign this to Joe M10.  Otherwise, assign it to Kipp, and he'll
probably mark it a dup of a bug I sumbitted a long time ago.

This is a display problem; the content is still there; here is the HTML for that
para after the change:

<p>
Here is some very run<b>-o-the-mill text in a paragraph tag, for those
of you who are into that kind of thing. I think at this point I shall
regale you with some of my inestimable poetry, which will be presented
in blockquote mode for your reading pleasure.  This particular sample
was written when I was eleven years old, but is remarkably similar to
the w</b>ritings of my later &quot;hard-livin&quot; years.  It's titled &
quot;Reruns&quot;:
