When using the attribute 'contenteditable=true' on an element, if said element in underlined and no selection is made,
a call to execCommand('underline') will not result in the value returned by 'queryCommandState('underline')' to be 'toggled' from true to false and vice versa;
this behavior is inconsistent with the behavior of 'execCommand('bold')', 'execCommand('italic')' for example, where the relevant command states 
are in fact toggled.

The attached demo will behave differently in chrome when compared to safari. (clicking toggle underline does toggled the state in chrome). 

I believe this bug to be the inverse of this bug: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17594

As far as I'm aware this is a bug, but please forgive me if it's desired behavior?

Bug is at least present on IOS 9.2 and Safari 9 on Mac. I have not had time to test other platforms.

Reduction

Adding a reduction. The behaviors of queryCommandState('underline') and queryCommandState('bold') are inconsistent.
