           Summary: execCommand('backColor') fails on collapsed selections
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 525+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
               URL: http://nick-santos.com/tests/background_color.html
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML Editing
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: nicksantos at google.com


Repro Steps:
1) Place the cursor in a contentEditable element.
2) Execute document.execCommand('backColor', false, '#f00') in JavaScript.
3) Type some text.

Expected Result:
The new text should have a red background.

Actual Result:
The new text keeps the same background.

Notes:
'backColor' works ok when text is actually selected.
If we replace 'backColor' with 'foreColor' in step #2, the new text is red as
expected.
Verified on Safari3/Win and Webkit-Nightly/OSX.
