--- Comment #3 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
This is not a bug. When you select text from a span and apply direct
formatting, or equally a style (e.g. emphasis), you are breaking the text span.

Formatting/kerning drawn from font metrics is not expected to apply in that use
case--nor can it.

Here is a clip from a Flat ODT, showing the span with direct formatting or
style applied.

<text:p text:style-name="P1"><text:span
text:style-name="T3">V</text:span><text:span
text:style-name="T4">on</text:span> <text:span
text:style-name="T3">V</text:span><text:span
text:style-name="Emphasis"><text:span
text:style-name="T3">on</text:span></text:span> <text:span
text:style-name="T3">Von</text:span></text:p>

Possible enhancment for typographic support, but IMHO not worth the dev effort
to implement what would be needed to apply different formatting/style within a
string.
