Comment (by Pete):

 I'll. Be. Damned...  I went into BeOS to prove you wrong (:-/) and find
 that it behaves in ''exactly'' the same way!  And in all the applications
 I tried.  It's hard to believe that I've been using BeOS since the
 beginning and never ran into it before!

 I still think it's a dangerous convention, but it seems it is the
 convention, so I guess the ticket can be marked invalid.  (Changing just
 StyledEdit would be worse.)
