The visual editor should be constant in the methods used to closing menu items.
Clicking above the white area above the paragraph closes the paragraph.
Here is how the other menu items interact.
Menu item -- clicking above
paragraph | closes |
A underscore | closes |
link | no |
cite | closes |
list | closes |
insert | closes |
Ω | no |
I got confused by this inconsistency.
