A word or words are bold. You want to replace the first one.
Double click
to select it. Then overype the new word. The replacement word is
not
bold, whereas I would expect it to be bold.
Is that intended behaviour, or a quirk?
Both. I think the code works as intended, but the intention is
questionable. It is industry standard behaviour to preserve the
emphasis. I have added it to the bug list.

I have noticed that the same thing happens when one 'copies'
a previously 'bold' section to another place in a document
(ie. the Bold or Italic changes in the original is lost!).
Should this happen? Chris.
Not in 8.73 ... 'bold' text copied to another place in the document
still appears as bold.
Regarding the original question ... if bold or italic is applied to
the letter space preceding a word, then overtyping the word will not
lose the style/effect.
