Two users have reported on this. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:AussieLegend/Vandals_etc&diff=prev&oldid=560719781 And: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback#Font_colors_in_signatures_changed I realize that this is probably tied into other behavior, but I lack code-fu to determine what. :) Maggie
In this case: <span style="color:green;">Aussie</span><span style="color:gold;">Legend</span> … is being simplified by DM into: <span style="color:green;">AussieLegend</span> … which, unsurprisingly, Parsoid assumes means we wanted to combine them. :-)
This is the same as bug 49478. We are dependent on it being in Parsoid first, otherwise we would reintroduce bug 48110.

Several of these issues are actually on the VE side, so reopening.
I still see annotation merging on this test case: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:GWicke/TestDoubleFormatting?veaction=edit Steps to reproduce: * append a char to 'baz' * preview the change Result: The bold ranges are merged, leading to a dirty diff Expected result: no merging and no dirty diff

I've been meaning to file a bug about it but I keep forgetting. Ed, we need to preserve the difference between <b>Foo</b><b>Bar</b> and <b>FooBar</b> somehow. Feel free to hit me up on IRC if you want to talk about how we should do that.
All we need to do is turn off similar annotation comparisons in VE completely, but Parsoid is not ready for that yet, for example adding new bold text next to Parsoid-generated bold text would create: <b data=parsoid="">Old bold text</b><b>New bold text from VE</b> which Parsoid should obviously merge to: '''Old bold textNew bold text from VE''' but doesn't yet. Once this is all handled correctly, we can turn off similar annotation comparisons and the two bolds in <b>Foo</b><b>Bar</b> will no longer be merged (as they have will have different data-parsoid's). Of course Parsoid will not want to merge them either so that will factor into their logic.

Adding Parsoid bug 42803 as a dependency. We do add nowiki between most cases of adjacent quotes to ensure at least correctness, but the markup will indeed not be optimal.

Merged and will go out tomorrow.
