Hi,
after double-checkign with Thomas and Stéphane, what they actually reckon is
that our editor should follow MS Word and OpenOffice's behavior as much as
possible. This means that* keeping the current implementation would actually
be the best choice *(sorry for trigerring the "send" button a bit too fast).
However their intial reaction was that the first line should not have any
formatting applied. Therefore I think we need to improve the interface in
order to align user expectations with the WYSIWYG editor's behavior -
probably by making the currently selected styles even more visible than they
are now (for instance, when Bold is active, make its background color a
bright red - I'm exaggerating for the sake of clarity).
I'll talk about this with Laurent.
