This is a duplicate of #12634.

When you click repeatedly the result is the same as clicking on a word in text. Like word gets selected, the strong element gets selected. That is why you can see bold being activated on the toolbar. When you start typing text will be normal which is expected - typing on selected content removes that content.

It all comes down to placing caret in empty inline styles.
