Coping style spans

Hi Tomas,
I am trying to implement a highlighting of a selection. so I get the stylespans of a styledDocument, then append to it another css piece of information.

like this:

 originalStyleSpans=styledDoc.getStyleSpans(0);

modifiedHighlightSpans=styledDoc.getStyleSpans(0).mapStyles(css -> css + "-fx-effect: dropshadow(gaussian, red, 3, 1, 0, 0);");

so when I toggle, I use this or that stylespan by:

richTextArea.setStyleSpans(range.getStart(), modifiedHighlightSpans);

However, after I apply the modified style, I can get back to the original one. Does the mapStyles method create a new copy of the StyleSpan or alter it? How can I copy a stylespan?

mapStyles creates a new StyleSpans object, it does not modify the original. Where's the problem?

Not sure what's happening. but now it works . sorry for the false alarm.
