Format bar doesn't make sense on whitespace

[turt2live]

I'd like to bold this space please

True, but unaware of any editor that disables formatting when selecting just spaces... For example, just tried in libreoffice and you can happily bold your spaces.

I played with it a bit more and I think my concern is actually that it shows up too quickly. A small delay might help because it showing up right away on text I want to delete is the annoying part.

I am not shocked by the presence of the formatting bar, on the other hand the behavior is astonishing:

1. It duplicate whitespaces:
   

2. It ignore whitespaces:

Nowadays it seems to no-op on whitespace so really needs to not show up
