If you use just text with defaultTextFormat it will work. It's because htmlText has markup tags that override defaultTextFormat. Thats also true for setTextFormat, but setTextFormat also has a problem with the getting overrided by just text too because it's ment to have a start and end index. It's Best practice to apply the TextFormat again after you change the text. This will guaranty that it's always the right TextFormat. This is because of htmlText for the defaultTextFormat .
