Try selecting a text which includes a newline, and clicking the bold button.
Several bugs occur:

• the ''' marks will only be placed at the beginning and end of selection,

which will not produce the expected result (one could say that is a bug with
the parser rather than with the edit interface, but that would still leave the
problem of double newlines).

Maybe the bold button should operate on each line individually.

• the newline turns into a double newline.
• newlines are inserted to the beginning and end of the selection.

(FF3.5/WinXP)

That's weird, I'll look into that.

This behavior is even more counter-intuitive with lists; for example, I would
expect

a
b
c

to turn into

• a
• b
• c

when selected and listified.

That's bug 22209.
