When typing in the RTF view of the editor, the text color is not applied unless a word or portion of the text is actively selected. If no selection is made, the text being typed does not pick up the desired color. This behavior is problematic because users typically expect the color to apply immediately to the text they are typing, without needing to select it manually.

Is there a workaround or solution to ensure that the color is applied to the text automatically, even when no selection is made? I am attaching a [video](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BtVxx4teIz-FYOlPyP6ohzjrCmVhsr6f/view?usp=drive_link) for reference to better illustrate the issue. Thank you for your assistance!
