Interesting.. didn't know about this behaviour: Italicization if possible and
slanting otherwise. I surely agree this really mixing things together
(undesired)

I'm also partly confused: Is this about the button itself (icon) or how it gets
applied in the document or both. Because of the suggestions at 1 + 2

What should happen if Italic is missing?

Underline button has a drop down to pick different underlines. Something
similar could be done for Italicization <-> slanting.

Off-topic: I kind of pro.. I have tendency to add 'unformatted' too. Applying
BOLD (CTRL+B introduces formatting; CTRL+B again; creates the inverse, explicit
unbold). The only way to get unformatted text is clear df. But well if you have
Underline (DF) and Bold (DF), and you want to disable only bold (DF), you're in
trouble.

Not in favor of this ..
