Comment:

 From #5879:

 deryni:

 I think the most expected behaviour might actually be to keep the
 formatting of the last entered text. Which may be what is currently
 happening, can someone test this? (It sounds like it isn't but I'd like
 confirmation.)

 I'm not sure always-last is any more consistent (from the user's
 perspective, especially if they've gone back to edit (or potentially edit)
 text) than the current from-insertion-point (assuming it isn't from-last-
 edit).



 andrixnet:

 If by "last entered text" you mean the last character of the message, then
 I agree, and this is IMHO the expected behaviour and also the existing
 behaviour of all rich text editors.

 Currently, as far as I can determine, pidgin uses the format of the
 character where the cursor is as reference for formatting text on the next
 message, which many times is confusing and many times I had to use the
 "reset formatting" button because of this.
