Sometimes when pressing Ctrl-B, Ctrl-U, Ctrl-I the font state will not change.
In all cases, the bold/italic/underline button will not show the proper active state except on the 1st selection. Turns out this is the issue if you use the shortcut or the button.
For example, the 1st time I press Ctrl-B, the Bold button will highlight and I'll get a bold text. The 2nd time I press Ctrl-B, the Bold button will NEVER change to inactive, and the bold will sometimes actually deactivate and sometimes remain bold. More often than not, it doesn't do what I want it to. If I click the Bold button the button is always active and I don't ever know what the state actually is without typing.

I've actually seen this before. It ended up being a data issue in a couple of instances. Does this happen with new blank items, or just items with text already in them?
This is with new items, not just editing existing items.
I've also noticed other odd behavior as well:
Indenting may indent the current line and next line or not indent at all.
Indenting on the current line may also create an extra blank line after an Enter is pressed.
Un-indenting may un-indent the current line, remove the next blank line, un-indent the next line, or do nothing at all.
Pressing Enter twice often creates an extra space character on the 1st of the 2 lines. Somewhat related, sometimes an Enter will go to the next 'line' in the WUSIWUG and sometimes it creates a space (like this posting does between "paragraphs") in the WUSIWUG.
As I play with the editor more, the key concept is: type what you want, then format, then save and hope you don't have to edit any format later. I realize the editor may not be your creation but having a good one is kind of key for this type of application.
Maybe this is why I like vi so much....
I've opened a case in Salesforce for this issue. You should get an email shortly. We'll be able to track our progress better this way.
Sorry to hear you have editor whoas. vi or vim is always a good alternative
