Problems with coloured text

User reported two problems involving coloured text and lists.

I was unable to reproduce the errors he described in OSX/Chrome but did see some strangeness with coloured text. If you colour individual pieces of text then select everything on the page and change it to black sometimes it would do nothing until the second attempt. Sometimes it would jump to only selecting part of the text and changing it, sometimes it would work.

When pasting into another page then trying to change the colour I did not get any content loss but did see the text turn a blue colour before a second attempt and making it black succeeded.

I took several screencasts of attempts to reproduce the users bugs and caught the above:
