Rich Text Editor Doesn't Support Multi Paragraph Edits

Informations

• Node.js version: 9.11.1:
• npm version: 5.6.0:
• Strapi version: 3.0.0-alpha.12.2:
• Database: MongoDB:
• Operating system:

What is the current behavior?
Highlighting multiple paragraphs of text and clicking bold erases the highlighted text and replaces with the string **bold text**.

Steps to reproduce the problem
Highlight multiple paragraphs of text and click bold

What is the expected behavior?
Should apply bold styling to the entire highlighted region or just be disabled if that's not supported.

Suggested solutions
I haven't worked with DraftJS in a little while but I believe that this is a fairly common issue related to how it separates paragraphs into unique content blocks and then applies text styling on a per block basis?

@willisplummer In fact it's logic itself that needs to be improved.

The bug is that instead of inserting ** at both ends of the paragraph I set at the line's ones.

I'm closing this issue, please refers to this public card on Product Board (see https://portal.productboard.com/strapi/c/37-wysiwyg-html-editor). Even if the title doesn't express that we'll change the editor, we will certainly take a look at free & open-source alternatives like Froala.
