It is *possible* to continue adding content if there is a link object at

right? So there's no such bug. Here we're talking about an improvement.
I've updated XWIKI-4193 accordingly.

Hi Marius & Guillaume,
Open Office users are actually complaining:
e.g. 1:
"When I paste a URL into a Writer document, it turns it into a link --
blue, underlined, control + click to open URL.
After I paste a URL, how do I type text after it, and not make the new
text I type also be part of the link? [...]
I can't figure out how to "turn off" the hyperlink and return to typing
normal text."
source:
http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=users&msgNo=186093
The solution I found, after a while, was to choose "Clear formatting"
from the style drop down.. not intuitive at all.
Our editor has a Link menu with a Remove Link entry. It shouldn't be
that hard for the user to find it.
OK, the user doesn't know if the caret is inside the link after he
presses Enter, but that's because the Remove Link feature was moved from
the tool bar, where it was enabled or disabled depending on the context.
e.g. 2:
"The bigger problem is that an entire section of text on the page seems
to
be hyperlinked for some reason. It's just
ordinary text. But everything I
type in this one area on the document turns into a link."
Source: http://www.8daysaweek.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=984
These are just a couple of examples I found right away, but I am sure
there
are other people confused about this issue.
Point taken. Can you or Guillaume open a JIRA issue?
* Enter at the start/end of a link moves the caret before/after the link
and then creates a new paragraph.
* Enter in the middle of a link breaks the link in two.
* The rest of the in-line styles (including bold, italic etc.) are
preserved on the new paragraph
* Shift+Enter acts as it does now: simply inserts a line break
This is the observed behavior of MS Word 2007.
and I remember Marius' very strong position on
keeping the current behaviour
(are we talking about the same thing?).
I'm still strongly in favor of the current behavior but the users don't
find it natural.
Marius
How about, in this context, hitting enter at the beginning / end of a bold,
italic, strikethrough, etc? Is this rule only for links or for any other
styling? (I agree that it's more annoying for links then for all others but this
means adding a special rule for links...)
Happy coding,
Anca
Thanks Marius :-)
Guillaume
