Hey,

So I just upgraded to beta 2, and I'm having this really annoying problem where if I highlight text and I bold it by typing ctrl+b it'll just replace the whole text with a b, if I undo it and then ctrl+b it again, it'll bold it properly. It does this about 90% of the time though. Since the text files I work with all day require me to do it a lot it ends up taking a lot of time. I know it's not me doing something wrong cause I never had this problem in any other version of VMWare fusion.

Anyone have any ideas? I would love a quick fix...

Is it related to the speed of pressing ctrl-b (e.g. try holding ctrl, then immediately pressing b, vs. holding ctrl, waiting a little bit, then pressing b)?

Did you try pressing slower (e.g. half a second), not just as fast as you could? I know it's not what you want to do, but this might help us narrow down where the problem is.
