VisualEditor: Attempting to de-bold a selection causes text to become "extra-bold"
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

  1. Edit [[mw:VisualEditor:Sfioj]] in VE
  2. Make a selection such as

    These [words are] very bold

or

These wor[ds are ve]ry bold
  1. Click the "Bold" button on the toolbar

The selected text goes extra-bold, in Firefox 21.

I should mention that in my case, the font is Arial, which has an extra bold "Arial-Black" variant.

There is a related problem with italic: try the same STR on the second line of the Sfoij page, using the "italic" toolbar button instead of "bold". But I think it is the same issue.
