RE: Toggle text class at end of tag

Thanks - added to Bugzilla.

I wondered if a workaround might be to add a character to the end of the
selection, then perform the toggle, then remove the added character. =
Since
it always works where the selection isn't adjacent to an end tag, this =
would
at least mean that it would work even if it isn't particularly pretty.

At the moment my future users would be faced with a strange situation =
where
their hard work gets mangled if they don't obey an obscure set of rules
(like "don't select up to the end of  a tag").

Thanks,
Pete.
