Odd behavior when applying formatting offline, especially strikethrough

Odd behavior when applying formatting offline, especially strikethrough

Dear Zoho team and users,

I am seeing some odd behavior when working offline and trying to apply formatting. This happens most frequently with strikethrough, but occasionally with italicizing, underlining and bold.

Basically, it's just very difficult to apply the formatting you want to selected text. Sometimes clicking twice works, sometimes only half of the selected text will be formatted in the way you want, sometimes it will work after trying once by selecting with the mouse and then trying again selecting via the keyboard (Shift-End and so on), sometimes vice-versa. This odd behavior occurs most frequently when working within numbered lists or lists of bullet points, but can also occur in plain text. (I have not really been able to isolate a specific set of circumstances under which formatting will work or won't work -- sorry not to provide a more reproducible problem.)

Any advice would be appreciated.

I am using Zoho Writer on Google Chrome 6 with Windows 7. (Chrome 6 is a recent update but this problem was occuring pre-update in Chrome 5 as well.) It doesn't seem to make any difference whether or not the Zoho Companion extension is enabled or not.
