If I mark two pragraphs those two paragraphs should, in my oppinion be
completly marked (incl. the gaps) with the chosen font /style etc.
If that conflict with the now intended function, then there could be a
checkbox, or alike to choose "old editing" or "new absolute editing". The
eveything goes as usual but when text is marked and changed the gaps will
follow accordingly in the new style.
