What happens
With the caret in the transcript, Ctrl+B, Ctrl+I and Ctrl+U (Cmd on macOS) apply bold, italic and underline to the words in the DOM. The document never sees it: the DOM and
transcript.wordsdrift apart.Cause
The transcript block is contentEditable only to carry a caret. Its native
beforeinputguard (src/components/ai-edition/RightPanes.tsx, around line 1307) prevents thedelete*andinsert*input types and lets every other one through,formatBold,formatItalicandformatUnderlineincluded.Expected
Formatting shortcuts do nothing in the transcript. One way: the guard prevents every input type it does not handle, so the next one is covered too. The word editor and the insertion field are
<input>s and are already skipped.How it was found
While fixing #1012, in headless Chrome. It predates that change.
