Totally broken for me. Firefox has weird selection behavior (trying to italicize one word often catches the previous one, next one, whole sentence - or works normal), with Chrome the buttons don't work at all and with Camino (older Gecko engine), I can't even place the cursor.

can you try http://tifftiff.de/wysihtml5/examples/advanced.html and seeing if you see the same issues?

Firefox 11 has the italics issue in both the normal and advanced editor.

I have the same issue with the original linked example using Chrome on OSX but do not have the trouble on the advanced.html page.

Works better, but it has its share of weirdness. Just by clicking around on a "lorem ipsum" text it seems to work okay in Firefox (beta) and Camino (i.e. two Gecko versions), not at all in Chrome dev (clicking on italic/bold/h1 won't change anything) and if I select a line in Safari to make it a headline, it also applies the transformation to the following paragraph. If I then click "h1" again, everything is back to normal. A third click then works as intended, i.e. only the selected line is turned into a headline. From then on, this line works normal, but the whole game repeats itself if I do it with another line.

FWIW I am too on Firefox and I am not seeing any weird behavior. (Beautifully done, by the way. Great job.)

I had same issues as mhd on FF 10.0.2 on Kubuntu.

Advanced example works without bugs for me; my test has following HTML output ("So this is <b>the</b> thing <i>then</i>?<br><br><h1><span class="wysiwyg-color-red">Does it always work?</span></h1><h2>If it does then, great!</h2>Or, y'know, not bad.<br><br><ul><li>Yes</li><li>No</li><li>Maybe</li><li>So!</li></ul><h1>Yay it worked!!</h1>").
