I think this is a matter of getting used to how LyX works. It's true that people coming from other programs will expect the behavior you expected, but that's not the only way it can sensibly work. We can discuss here which way it should work. I can tell what your vote is. ;-)
What is definitely a problem is that the Text Styles dialog, which is where I was going to send you for help on this, doesn't work as it should. I've filed a bug report about that: http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3680. rh Darren Freeman wrote: > Hi all, > > contrary to the behaviour a user would expect, hitting ctrl-B on a > selection with a mixture of bold/non-bold, simply toggles the state > leaving the opposite boldness on each character. > > One normally expects a mixture to first go all bold, then on the next > press it all goes non-bold.
