10036	Inline edtor should apply block level formats only to the users selection	davidosullivan		"Not sure if this is the right place to post this- sorry if its not- I was directed over here from http://ckeditor.com/forums/CKEditor/Inline-Mode-Choosing-heading-style-or-style-styles-whole-block-not-just-the

At the moment when the user makes a selection and selects 'Heading 1' from the format drop down the whole block changes. While I know why this is (h1 is block level) I dont feel that the editor is doing what I told it to do since I went to the trouble of making a selection and therefore expect only that selection to be affected by my subsequent actions. 
http://www.raptor-editor.com deals with this by closing the existing block before the selection and opening it again afterwards and applying the new block level tag around the selection- which seems far more like it is doing what its told.

While I appreciate that we all know what an inline style is, most users do not. They really are going to expect the changes they make to affect the text they have selected I feel. Its different if they just put the cursor in a block and dont make a selection. And I understand that 'thats not how it is supposed to work' and that users should learn that h1 are block level etc- but they simply wont. We understand it  because we work on the web all the time. If our sole experience was Word we would expect 'style' changes (and we would include 'Heading 1' in that) to only affect the selection we have made, not go ahead without our say so and screw up the whole paragraph...So I would suggest that http://www.raptor-editor.com way of doing things is simply far better for the user and maybe something CKEditor and Aloha should emulate..."
