Question: does IE support clicking bold outside/at the start/end of the
word? For example:

* Type " foo bar "
* What happens when the cursor is like: "| foo bar "?
* What happens when the cursor is like: " |foo bar "?
* What happens when the cursor is like: " foo| bar "?
* What happens when the cursor is like: " foo |bar "?
* What happens when the cursor is like: " foo bar| "?
* What happens when the cursor is like: " foo bar |"?
* What happens when the cursor is like: " foo | bar "?

If the " foo | bar " case works fine, then this is just another example
of how IE is so incredibly wrongly coded...

These cases (along with "foo|bar") should be tested in several browsers
and see what's happening.
