--- Comment #5 from Mike Kaganski <mikekaganski at hotmail.com> ---
The button state does not reflect *direct formatting*, it only reflects
respective *formatting* (regardless of the way it was applied). And that is
absolutely correct.

And everything else aside, remember that all DF tools are targeted at users who
do not care (maybe do not know, have not mastered, do not understand, etc.)
about styles. And the DF tools must make lives of those users simple: it *is*
expected by the users that whenever a text font is bold, the Bold button is
"active", and allows user to toggle the effect (applying a DF "no bold" atop of
any number of levels of complex formatting below, as if you use paint that
masks anything below it). It would be not obvious, not consistent, etc. if they
see non-pressed Bold, which on press actually makes selection *not* bold; or
absolutely wrong to disallow DF users to make bold-*styled* text non-bold.

Clear NOTABUG.
