Using the Bold or Italics Icon Inserts Last Link

Question

Okay, this is a very odd bug that just started happening to me. Whenever I insert a link, if I later try to bold some text, it does surround that text with the required double-asterisk, but it also inserts the complete last link (including link text).

As an example, I shall now insert a link to Google. I did that by highlighting the world "Google" and then clicking on the link icon and then typing in the URL to Google.

Now, I'm going to bold some text. I did that by highlighting "bold some text" and clicking on the "B" icon. Here in the initial entry of the text, it simply has surrounded the words with double-asterisks. It appears bolded in the preview box.

Okay, it worked correctly this time???? - webdunce, Nov 27, 2011

I promise you, though, several times over the last week, I would see Googlebold some textGoogle. And the two Googles would be links. - webdunce, Nov 27, 2011

As a matter of fact, it just happened to me in another post, which is why I created this thread. - webdunce, Nov 27, 2011

Things change frequently on this site. Chris is always fixing and enhancing it without notice, I believe. - pesta, Nov 27, 2011

Answer 1

Yep I use Chrome and it happens to me.

I just work round the prob.

Answer 2

Anyway, I'm no native Spanish speaker, but I think that's fine...you can also say "junto a todo"...for the idea of "beside everything" or "right next to everything."

I just looked at the dictionary entries (under and beside), and they seem to confirm what you say (just remember it's "al lado de" and not "besideabeside lado de")

There, this is a post from another thread. I re-typed it here and you can see how it put "beside" as a link on each side of "a". - webdunce, Nov 27, 2011

So apparently it is not consistent...those are the best bugs, right? - webdunce, Nov 27, 2011

In this post, I double-clicked on "under" (to highlight it), then I clicked on the link icon and pressed ctrl-v to insert the link. I did the same for beside. Then I clicked-and-dragged to highlight al and clicked the B icon. That worked fine. Then I ... - webdunce, Nov 27, 2011

...did the same for "a" and got that weirdness there. - webdunce, Nov 27, 2011

I had the same problem making links in Google (so you are not imagining it), but I just went back to Firefox and didn't worry about why it was happening. - 0074b507, Nov 27, 2011
