[daisy] Firefox doesn't sense boldness of existing text?

[Allan Pratt]

There is a Daisy 2.1 installation at my work, and I have discovered 
something: when using FireFox 2.0.0.12 to edit a page, if there is bold 
text already in a page when I start editing it, I can't remove the 
boldness. I can add new text and make it bold (or not), but if something 
was bold to begin with, I can't remove that style on that text.

Looking at the buttons across the top, the editor doesn't think the text 
is bold at all - the "B" button does not change state when I put the 
cursor there. Looking at the HTML source, the text is <strong> just like 
any new bold text I enter in the editor.

When I edit the same page with IE 6, the editor does recognize the text 
as bold (the "B" button changes state) and I can remove the style. So I 
assume there is a variation in the way the editor's JavaScript executes 
in the two browsers.

Is this familiar to anybody, are there any suggestions? If there's no 
useful discussion I'll file a bug report and move on; what I have so far 
is a bit thin for a bug report but it's all I've got.
