what are you selecting to toggle back to the editor? Are you selecting in the
body or are you selecting the title bar or what? If I select the title bar, the
selection remains and the style remains. If you select within the body -- then
your focal point will change depending on where you selected and the style would
go away. If that is what you are doing, then this would be invlaid.

Beth, I am selecting in the Body exactly where I left the insertion
point before I gave another window focus.

when you regain focus of composer by selecting within the edit window, you are
resetting the caret placement, since you entered nothing within the bold element
start and end tag before going off to another window, you essentially left
nothing within that element to grab focus, so the caret will be inserted outside
of the element. The better way to regain focus of the composer window is to
select the window header, or footer area.
