#3916: Implicit unwanted scope changes

This is probably a subtle bug, but consider the following:
1. Select some text in Write
2. Select the Format tab
3. Choose a list format
Upon choosing the format, a context switch is assumed which transitions
back to the Text toolbar. This is frustrating, since I might be testing
out various formats, etc. I guess it might be safe to say that a context
switch can only happen explicitly via user selection; one shouldn't occur
on account of actions taken in the toolbar.
Furthermore, it would be worth defining equivalence classes for the
toolbars, whereby text and format, for instance, are considered to be the
same context. In this manner, with the format toolbar selected, I could
change my current text selection in order to apply formats to various
pieces of text without switching to the text toolbar implicitly with each
new selection.
