Regression with quick-formatting

[GoogleCodeExporter]

At first I have to describe, what I mean with ‘quick-formatting': While 
entering text in a rich text node I often make formatting as bold (for example) 
directly when I write the text. Until 0.34.x I was able to simply press ctrl-b 
after having written the whole word (without the following space), and the word 
got marked completely and formatted bold.

In 0.35.2 (probably also in 2 previous releases) I get a message box in this 
case, telling me, that no text was selected. I have to place the cursor 
somewhere in between the word (no marking is needed, so the error message is 
partly misleading), to make ctrl-b work. Even placing the cursor directly left 
of the first letter of the word works (as in previous versions).

This is cumbersome, because it destroys the working-flow and obviously it needs 
at least 1 additional key-stroke (on the left cursor-key).

The regression is obviously related with the new feature for double-clicking 
words with special sign in between. This relationship gets obvious, if I place 
the cursor at the end of a word, which is followed by a period (or @ or 
whatever is defined as special sign in the setting). If I place the cursor in 
between the last letter of the word and the following period, CT does not 
complain about missing text selection, but does the formatting the same way, as 
in previous releases.
