It is done like that by design. I agree that it is misleading, but
toggle all is not on by default. I do not think your solution is
better, it is not very predictable either.
I see your point, and I'm not enthralled by my solution (since it does
depart from the logic of each application toggling the result), but what
are the odds that someone would go into the dialog, change some font
characteristic, set the toggle button, click Ok and *not* want it
applied to the currently selected text?
Anyway, I've already submitted this to bugzilla, so someone will have to
decide yea or nay and, if nay, cancel the bug report.
