But the question is
   - if the chunk is currently 'mixed', then which of the following

I've seen different ways to do that. What comes to mind is the way Thunderbird marks/unmarks a group of selected messages if they have mixed status. It flips the first one, and then makes all the others match that.

I guess that qualifies as "other" in your list. I'm not sure it's the best behavior, but it makes its own kind of sense.

That should have been option 3a :-)   Thanks.


And a similar question - if the button clicked is the "make the text
bigger" button, and the text is currently mixed sizes, then should it

I'd pick #4:

4. each char of the chunk should increase in size (i.e. equivalent to
selecting each sub-chunk in turn, and then clicking the 'bigger' button)

Secretly, that's what I think it should do - but I was hoping someone would come up with a rationale for one of the others.

I guess the code will just have to iterate through the chars and change them. (oops no, just tried that and it's too slow. I guess the code will need to scan through the chars and change each sub-chunk)

Thanks
