Bug #24609
closed
Unable to make whole line links in IE
0%
Description
RTE refuses to create links over the text on the end of line/paragraph, if next paragraph starts with another link. Typically link over the whole line.
Tried in IE7 & 8, same problem. No problem in FF.
Appeared after the last upgrade - to 4.4.6 & 4.3.10 - same problem both versions.

I can confirm this problem with IE6 also.
Several users here on IE6 have been reporting intermittent problems making links in the RTE. I initially thought this to be an IE6-only bug but have been able to reproduce the bug in IE8.
My observations are that the links are not created whenever the next paragraph begins with another link, and the link you are trying to make spans an entire paragraph. This is quite a common case given that lists of links are often created using per-line lists using paragraphs to wrap the links.
A work-around is to add a space before the start of the next line if it is a link, this allows the link on the proceeding line to be created.

Patch works for me - 4.4.6 & IE8. Will see what my editors with older IEs say. Thanks.
