Thanks for reporting this. I didn't test under Linux as I don't have a linux box handy. We bind keyboard events to jquery keydown. Is it better to bind to something else for FF/Linux?


More testing:

* On Chromium 25 and Chrome 26 the first two issues do not exist.

* More playing with FF20 and it seems this is actually tied to CTRL+B, not any other shortcut. At least initially, clicking the "Bold" button also has no effect. Possible explanation: In FF CTRL+B opens the Bookmarks pane by default, in practice certain focus combinations do open this pane. This explanation would seem to require the Bold widget to be generating a keypress under the hood, though.

* The codes issue is tricky, but one way to see an example on Chrome/chromium browsers is:

  1. refresh page
  2. select pre-existing "Go ahead..." text
  3. type "this is bold and this is not"
  4. select "this is bold" and make it bold
  5. place cursor at start of " and this is not"
  6. type "so is this", text is bold
  7. hit enter and type "but this isn't", it isn't bold
The original issue I saw was similar, but related to numbered bullet lists. To reproduce the third issue on FF follow the same steps, except a) one must first mash about on CTRL+B and/or the Bold button until they start working, then follow same steps. Result: you get the inverse, text in 6 is not bold, and text in 7 is.

Sorry, don't have domain knowledge about keybinding.
