103754 - Text styles (color, bold, italic, etc.) should not be discontinued from different paragraph styles

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 46474

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect)

Description

[TucsonTester2]

Build ID: 20011004

Composer discontinues any text styles after a return if the next line is going
to be a different paragraph type.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open composer
2.Click on the paragraph style drop-down menu on the toolbar and choose "Heading 1"
3.Click on the underline button on the toolbar
4.Click on the text color button on the toolbar and chooser red
5.Type in some text and hit enter
6.Type in more text

Actual Results:
All of the set text styles are discontinued.  I would expect heading 1 to be
removed but not the rest of the text formatting.

Expected Resutls:
The only thing that should be discontinued is the Heading 1 paragraph style. 
The rest of the settings for the. text should be continued.  This expected
behavior is seen in NS 4.x

Charley, MS Word gives me the same results as the tester got, and I confirmed
that 4.x behaves the way the tester expects. I kinda like the fact that it goes
to body text, actually -- the presumption I have is the styles were only
applicable to the Heading, and that the context following the heading stands
separate of this. On the other hand, if you want all the text in the document to
have the same foreground color, it would make sense for that color to stick. In
other words, perhaps there are certain styles that should always persist? Should
we only reset the styles that are intrinsic to the heading? 

Reassigning to you to determine if this is EDITORBASE, or INVALID.
