plugin:basicstyle remove style at collapsed selection

[Garry Yao]

Description

Current inline style system doesn't handle the case when selection is collapsed inside styled element correctly. A MS-Word mimics behavior should be provided to actually allow users to type in the middle with the style canceled.

Procedures

1. Open the replace by code example page in IE6;
2. Make selection as below:

   <p>This is some <strong>sam^ple text</strong>. You are using <a href="http://www.fckeditor.net/">FCKeditor</a>.</p>
   

3. Click bold command to cancel the bold style

• Actual Result :

  <p>This is some sample text. You are using <a href="http://www.fckeditor.net/">FCKeditor</a>.</p>
  

• Expected Result: The document remain unchanged, but when the user begin to type from this selection point, text should in unbold style.
  

  <p>This is some <strong>sam^ple text</strong>. You are using <a href="http://www.fckeditor.net/">FCKeditor</a>.</p>
  

• E.g after user type 'xxx' , document should result in :

  <p>This is some <strong>sam</strong>xxx<strong>ple text</strong>. You are using <a href="http://www.fckeditor.net/">FCKeditor</a>.</p>

I would go for the MS Word behavior, which is actually different. It removes the style from the current "word" (it expands the selection the word boundaries (including spaces).

In any case, this patch certainly needs updates.

Replying to fredck:

I would go for the MS Word behavior...

I can tell Microsoft Word Version 14 (2010) matches exactly the expected behavior described in ticket, which version are u having the above results?

[Frederico Caldeira Knabben]

I'm using Word 2007.

Anyway, at this stage, let's wait for outsiders feedback first.
