    Description

      (Please improve title) Observe the attached GIFs.

      (1) Adding link:

      • Insert some Link via Toolbar or [Ctrl]+[L], it has a defined Display Text
      • Type more Text AFTER the link. This text also becomes Part of the link

      (2) This also applies to the new Autolink Feature:

      • Enter some Text
      • Type [Sandbo.... and selected one of the suggested wiki Pages, hit Enter or Tab
      • Enter more text, again, it becomes part of the display text of the hyperlink

      This is quite annoying when adding lots of links.

      Compare this to MS-Outlook-Paste.gif where the link keeps its size.

      A simple solution would be: If the link editor adds a single SPACE which is not part of the link, it would separate the Userinput so the link is not "sticky" anymore.

      If the user does not want that he is free to delete it and modify the link.

      I don't know if this behavor is coming from CKEditor and intentional.
