   Jep, thats a known limitation. This is caused by the fact that the style   
   information goes through a series of transformation steps during display that   
   makes it hard to recover the original style information from the displayed   
   text. Unfortunately, the existing implementation however quotes the displayed   
   text rather than the original text. Repairing this takes more time than one   
   would. It's on the list, but other things have higher prio.   
      
   Regards,   
   Tim
