The title pretty much sums it up but here is the deal. If the text in a RichTextEditor has been manually edited, changing the styleName of its parent will result in a complete loss of formatting. If the text has been programmatically set the problem does not occur. I know the control differentiates between the two types of interactions and that only manual changes trigger a change event but am having a hard time tracking down exactly where the problem lies. I assume some property flag gets set when change is dispatched/detected but I don't know what to look for.
You can see this behavior at http://www.returnundefined.com/tests/rte/ (view source enabled). Thanks, Ben
