I've noticed the same thing.  I end up going into "Source" and deleting the italic tags.  Thought it was just something I was doing, guess not since it's happening to you as well.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
