Intention:
If I understand it correctly, the user defines a link target for text. This seems to highlight/mark the text for that user, so if the user then enters a space as the next letter as s/he wants to continue writing, this will overwrite the marked text. Says this happens with Safari 6.1.1 and Firefox 26.0 on OS X 10.7.5 and 10.8.5 (all four combinations). Haven't tried other browsers/operating systems.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Tried but could not duplicate this problem in Firefox 26 or Chrome 31
Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce
