(from bug 67086)

1. Press "Link" tool.
2. Enter a link target (url or page name).
3. Select the url or page name from the suggestions.
4. Notice that the surface still shows your blinking cursor with no link or text
5. Click back into the surface and type text.

Expected behaviour:

The link becomes a pre-annotation and the entered text the label.
Or, alternatively, the link autosaves and inserts itself and my text appears after the link.

Actual behaviour:

• First character is eaten.
• Link is inserted.
• First character of link is unlinked.
• Pawn appears.
• Second and further characters inserted will remove the link and insert plain text
