JTextPane, Selecting Text and Applying Styles

Question

Hello,
Anyone encounter this situation? I have a mini word processor application that I have written using the RTFEditor kit and a JTextPane. To change style, e.g bold, font size, font face, etc, one can select text and then click a button or select a menu item. That part works fine. The styles are primarily changed by using the Action classes provided in the javax.swing.text.* package.
The problem is, that if a user selected text of more than one style, all of the text is automatically converted to the style of the first part of the text selected, without the user even eanting to change ANY style just yet.
If anyone knows why this might be happening I would surely appreciate it.
Thanks,
acal

Solution to the style appling problem...
public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e )
        if (flag) return;
        if(e.getSource() == boldButton)
            SimpleAttributeSet attrs = new SimpleAttributeSet();
            attrs.addAttribute(StyleConstants.Bold,boldButton.isSelected());
            applyStyleToSelection(attrs);
            editorPane.grabFocus();
            return;
public void applyStyleToSelection(AttributeSet attrs)
        int start = editorPane.getSelectionStart();
        int end = editorPane.getSelectionEnd();
        DefaultStyledDocument doc = (DefaultStyledDocument) editorPane.getDocument();
        doc.setCharacterAttributes(start, end - start, attrs, false);
        StyledEditorKit styled = (StyledEditorKit) editorPane.getEditorKit();
        MutableAttributeSet mas = styled.getInputAttributes();
        mas.addAttributes(attrs);
