This has been puzzling me. I used to be able to use the shortcut keys (Ctrl+B on Windows) to turn bold (<strong></strong> tags) on before I typed the words to be in bold. I can't do that anymore. To be more specific, this is the sequence that no longer works:
  1. Press Ctrl+B to turn on bold.
  2. Type word or characters. (They are in bold.)
  3. Press Ctrl+B to turn off bold.


Now the only way I can get this to work is to
  1. Type the word or characters that I want to be bold.
  2. Highlight the text to be bold.
  3. Press Ctrl+B to bold the text.
  4. Move cursor to continue typing.


Is there a setting that I need to change or set in order to have the first way work again? Thanks!

Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean everybody isn't out to get you.
