Enter a link, try to toggle to source mode and back(done using the innerHTML prop). You will see the link underlined. Now, type something - it magically becomes part of the link! This definitely was working on 105,107 etc. It started to break from 1.5+.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a link using the toolbar(or optionally enter the html in the source mode)
2.Toggle to view mode.
3.Enter some text.

Actual Results:  
The new text becomes part of the link.

Expected Results:  
The new text should not be part of the link tag.

This occurs in many other editors as well:
 even in http://www.mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo/

To reproduce, create a link in view mode.
Toggle to HTML source view mode.
Toggle back to design/view mode.
Try to type some text right after the link.

We reserve the critical severity for crash bugs, usually. And yes, since this is a problem in Midas code, I would expect to see it everywhere someone is using Midas.

This is still reproducible for links at the end of the text, and pretty annoying for consumers like Thunderbird (see TB bug 554264).


Technically, after creating a link from selected text (e.g. at the end of message body), we'd want the cursor to automatically forward to the position just outside the anchor (which is possible as seen with pressing Ctrl+End after link creation in Thunderbird):


<a href="foo.bar">Linktext</a>|</br>
