When editing web page, the text color change doesn't work correctly if the
changed text is not at the end of the line. 
Case1: If the selection to be changed is in the middle of the line -> no change.
Case2: With line "yellowgreen" with colors corresponding to names, text
"yellowgr" is selected and changed to blue -> only part "yellow" is changed to
blue, not "gr", like it should.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Case1:
1.write a line of text in composer
2.make selection that starts and ends in the middle of the line
3.change the text color from menu or by clicking color change tool

Case2:
1.write a line: "yellowgreen" in composer using color yellow to write part
yellow and green color to write part green
2.make selection that covers "yellowgr"
3.change the text color from menu or by clicking color change tool
Actual Results:  
Case1: no color change
Case2: only part "yellow" was changed

Expected Results:  
Case1 and Case2: selection should have new color

Workaround: if you change text to bold before changing color and the back to
regular after changing color the result is correct.
