 I'm on a mac so I am using command-I to turn on italics in the post
 editor, visual mode, as I write.

 To replicate: Write the first letter of a word. Then backspace. Then press
 command-I, and write the whole word, which will now be italicized. Before
 pressing the space bar, hit command-I again. Instead of just turning off
 italics for your next word, it turns the word you just wrote back into
 non-italicized text.

 Through testing I discovered that it does not happen if you press
 command-I at the beginning of the word, it only happens when you back up
 in the middle of the word and then press command-I. And it doesn't happen
 when you press the "I" italics toolbar button to turn italics on and off,
 it only happens when using the keyboard shortcuts.

 This is new behavior that started with one of the recent updates, but I
 don't know which one.

 I know it's not a huge bug, but it's not expected behavior and it really
 gets in the way of my typing flow. I have to stop, go back to select the
 word, and make it italic again.
