So if I type text right now and go back and highlight 3 words with the mouse, and select Strikethrough, the effect is not seen until you click out of highlight mode. This happens with a few of the effects but not all. Fonts change, underline does not work. Etc.

Chrome
 
noticed this, this week. underline does not appear so it gets confusing if you are adding a link to that bit of text and your links are styled to be underlined. looks like this might be something a recent update of chrome might be doing otherwise, i would have noticed this before!
 
This is looking very much like a Chrome bug. Simply setting a background color on the ::selection CSS appears to cause this. It looks like the selection highlighting is done by actually painting over the text and it doesn't maintain all of the text changes. If I set the background color to be somewhat transparent, I can see the strikethrough and underline, though they actually appear to have inconsistent colors.

We'll need to do a reduced test case to report.
