Interesting, I'm not sure why this is happening, so please file a bug.

I cannot reproduce this when dealing with bold, italic, or different
sized fonts.  I only see the problem with the Timestamp add-in.  If
you are seeing it in other situations, can you please give exact
steps?

Yes, and that is the current behavior.

That's a different question than before.  I agree with you that use
the increase/decrease menu items should (when possible) preserve the
relative size differences.  Please file a bug.

Thanks for the feedback,
