This bug is so damn annoying.
Using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; 0.8.1) Netscape6/6.5b0
2001032904
To recreate:
Open up a new composer, type in "some text", select that text and press link,
hyperlink that text to some url i.e. http://www.mozilla.org. When you start
typing again, the next set of characters are still hyperlinked even if you do a
carriage return.
Expected results:
After selecting text to be hyperlinked, next set of characters i.e. a space, a
carriage return, some text, should not be hyperlinked and should be plain text
Right now the workaround is to type a complete thought or paragraph and go back
and do the hyperlinking later. Lame. Also, I believe this is a problem in
Mail/Compose.

actually, there is a menu item to do just what you want Format|Discontinue Link
(Shift+Ctrl+L). Also, after inserting the link, you could try hitting the 'END'
key which will get you out of the link as well.

Oh and the feature request is to make the expected results specified as the
default action. A user shouldn't have to go to the Format menu to break the
style (and they won't know to do that, I would have never figured that one out).
Also, this bug is especially annoying when creating a list i.e.:
stuff1
stuff2
stuff3
and hyperlinking along the way (not afterwards).

so, what is the expected behavior? You can't base it on entering a space or
character, so, what are you expecting to have happen?

Expected behavior is:
as I'm typing and I go and hyperlink the last word I typed, the next character
(after the hyperlink dialog) should not be part of that hyperlink whether that's
a space bar or a new character like a period. Also, when I hit the enter or
return key, I should be able to start a new non-hyperlinked line.
steps to reproduce expected behavior:
1. Start composer
2. Type Google
3. Highlight Google with cursor
4. Hit hyperlink button
5. Hyperlink to http://www.google.com
6. Press Ok
7. Next character should not be hyperlinked (whether it's a space, a character
or a carriage return).

Making the Enter/Return key terminate a link is covered by bug 99090
