The WritingML editor button bar now plays better with live preview on Newsfeed.
... and it's generally "smarter"! *Smile*

For example, if you select text and click the center icon, it will immediately center in the preview.
Before, you had to fiddle with it a little get the live preview update to happen.

And now if you select some text and add a color, you can click different colors to change the text color and it just works, replacing the previous color with the new one...
Before, the editor just continued to add and stack MORE colors, rather than replacing with the new.
*FacePalm* *Angelic* And the same goes for changing font faces and font sizes.

Enjoy! *Cool*
