           Summary: Formatting state should match that of last backspaced
                    character
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh Intel
               URL: http://webkit.org/demos/editingToolbar/
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.6
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML Editing
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: wstokes at gmail.com


-go to http://webkit.org/demos/editingToolbar/
-enter the following string "Begin with normal text. Then some bold text. More
normal text. Some italic text. And finally some more normal text."
-select "Then some bold text" and click the bold button
-select "Some italic text" and click the italic button
-place the cursor at the end of the editor
-repeatedly tap the backspace key to delete through the normal and italic
regions into the "More normal text region"
-start typing text -> italic characters are entered, even though a normal
character was the last one deleted
-repeatedly tap the backspace key to delete through the bold region and into
the first normal region
-start typing -> bold characters are entered, even though a normal character
was the last one deleted

It appears the bold or underline region towards the end of the document is not
being deleted when entirely backspacing through a bold/underline region.
Instead it's begin tugged back toward the beginning. The cursor is actually
within the bold/underline empty block, and as a result when typing new text
bold/underline is used as a complete surprise to the user.
