Wow, am I understanding that right ? So ... they've improved the feature a bit, while also making it a bit worse ?

Just imagine a brand new text editor software about to hit the market. In the previous iteration, if you selected a bunch of letters and pressed Bold, it would switch the Normal ones to Bold and the Bold ones to Normal, instead of bringing the whole selection to Bold or Normal like any decent text would do. In the new version, you can finally bring a mixed-state selection to Bold, but you have to un-Bold letters one by one.

I'm thoroughly impressed by the skill level Larian is displaying in the UI-and-usability department.
