This feature work almost like gmail editor.
In other words, you'd like the format to be preserved even when the entire text that had it was just deleted?
I've just checked that Gmail does it (because Chrome does it natively and Gmail uses nearly native contentEditable). Google Docs does it too. CKEditor 4, TinyMCE, Pages don't do it – they behave like CKEditor 5.
I'm curious about what Word does.
This is a possible change in the behaviour. Perhaps it's even fairly easy to do without changing CKEditor 5's source code. But we'd need to thoroughly analyse this (it's implications) before shipping such a change.
Hi, @Reinmar Can you plz specify me the easy solution to do this without change the CKEditor 5's source code? Thank you.
Hi, @Reinmar I've checked this bug on TinyMCE and it's working quite well. It would be really helpful for clients if we solve this bug. You mentioned that this is possible change. Can you please point us exactly what you mean the easy approach?

Seems like maybe instead of no activity in the past year you've actually made improvements. We recently upgraded to version 39 and this behavior is supported (on selecting and replacing text, the formatting is maintained). 🥳
