implementing bold button for wpf richtextbox... selection disappears after applying bold

Let's say I have RichTextBox from the Windows WPF library, and I'm trying to make it so I can select text in the richtextbox and click a bold button. as soon as I click the bold button the selected text should remain except what's in the section turns bold, and when i click the bold button again the bold should disappear and the selection should remain unchanged.

Now for what I observe, I click block and the selection disappears. Here's my code to show tht:

<Window x:Class="WpfApp2.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
        xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
        xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WpfApp2"
        mc:Ignorable="d"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="450" Width="800">
    <DockPanel>
        <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" DockPanel.Dock="Top">
            <Button Name="Bold" Content="Bold" Click="Bold_Click"/>
        </StackPanel>
        <RichTextBox Name="RichTextBox1" />
    </DockPanel>
</Window>

using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Documents;
using System.Windows.Media;
namespace WpfApp2 {    
    public partial class MainWindow : Window {
        public MainWindow() {
            InitializeComponent();
            RichTextBox1.CaretPosition.InsertTextInRun("Select this text with a mouse click-and-drag, " 
                                                       + "then click bold button, and observe that "
                                                       + "selection highlight disappears");
        }
        private bool SelectionIsBold() {
            var weight = RichTextBox1.Selection.GetPropertyValue(FontWeightProperty);
            var unset = DependencyProperty.UnsetValue;
            var SelectionIsBold = weight != unset && (FontWeight)weight == FontWeights.Bold;
            return SelectionIsBold;
        }
        private void Bold_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {
            if (RichTextBox1.Selection.IsEmpty) return;
            var textRange = RichTextBox1.Selection;
            var len = RichTextBox1.Selection.Text.Length;
            var startpos = RichTextBox1.CaretPosition.GetPositionAtOffset(0);
            var endpos = RichTextBox1.CaretPosition.GetPositionAtOffset(len);  //GetPoint(start, len);
            if (SelectionIsBold())
                RichTextBox1.Selection.ApplyPropertyValue(Inline.FontWeightProperty, FontWeights.Normal);
            else
                RichTextBox1.Selection.ApplyPropertyValue(Inline.FontWeightProperty, FontWeights.Bold);

            // ==>> DOESN"T WORK: Attempt to Reselect Text After ApplyPropertyValue because it unhighlights the selection...
            RichTextBox1.SelectionBrush = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red);
            RichTextBox1.Selection.Select(startpos, endpos);
        }
    } // class
} // namespace
