I think you will need to better outline what you are doing, hopefully 
with code examples, since it is likely a quirk in your code or 
something you aren't correctly supporting. Of course you could also be 
hitting a framework bug... who knows.

For one how are you applying your style attributes to things in the 
string or text storage?

Consider the following...
<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/
ObjC_classic/Classes/NSString.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000154/
rangeOfComposedCharacterSequenceAtIndex_>

Review the following if you haven't already...
