Clicking formatting, with nothing selected, prevents me from toggling it back off. about scribe

Interestingly, this only happens when you execute the command via the toolbar – not when you execute the command using a keyboard shortcut (<cmd>/<ctrl>+<b> in the example).

We have already documented a browser bug that might have something to do with this; see the first item under the heading. If you take a look at the isolated case in there, you can see that when the bold command is executed to a collapsed selection, document.queryCommandState('bold') will return true. However, the command execution has left the DOM untouched – there is no sign of a B/STRONG element where the caret is. On the other hand, there doesn’t seem to be any issue when toggling the command on and back off again.

This makes me think it could be an issue specifically to do with the toolbar, perhaps the timing of the focus.

FYI, any bug that the user can easily recover from (and isn’t a massive PITA), we consider low priority.
