Turning off italic

Comments

I just made a response to a post in Nadeau Looms and wished to emphasize a word in Italic.  Turing Italic on worked just fine, but I was totally unable to turn it off.  I see that it worked OK here, but I could not make it work in a reply.

Well, let's try it in a reply!  Hmmm.  It worked here.

Can you reproduce the issue?  I'll also go post in Nadeau and try there.

I went back to my reponse in Nadeau and tried to un-italic the words after "far" and was unsuccessful.

I have been using personal computers since the 80s when they first came out  and know most of the keystroke commands from Wordstar.  Harumph.  I see that Italicizing and un-italicizing worked as expected here, so I guess that it was merely a fluke that I was unable to turn off italizicizing before.

Very strange.  I used the ctrl-I to turn italics on & off.  I also highlighted a word already typed and changed it.

Please let me know if you have the problem on any other posts.

It is very strange, isn't it?  I never had any problems with either bolding or italcizing before and I'm pretty sure I have not had any problems since.  I tried again to fix my post in "Nadeau" and was again unsuccessful, so I've given up.  I tried both the ctl-i and clicking on the I in the toolbar.  No joy either way.

Very strange indeed!  Would you mind if I try to edit it as an administrator?  I don't know that I can, but I'm curious.  It seems as though that particular post maybe got corrupted or encountered a heretofor unencountered bug.

I dont mind a bit.  I was blathering on, said "I'm far too lazy blah blah and it never would turn back to plain text.  I have no idea what happened, but I have tried again and again to fix it myself.  And here is the really strange part.  the I in the header is not activiated (blue) when I select that text, so I would have to say that Wevo believes the text is not italicized at all. 

Stranger and stranger.

I forgot to tell you that I tried and while it told me the italics were off when I made the change, it never registered.  It did work if I copied the message into Word, fixed it there, and copied it back.  I cancelled out and left the message untouched.

Very odd.

That pretty much describes my life these days:  very odd.  :)

 Messages are actually in Html, and sometimes if the html codes get broken, the visual editor can't fix them.  That sometimes happens if you paste part of a document from Word or from email.  We are researching a fix.
