TYPO3 Core

If you have a long URL such as "www.xyz.com/abcdefg/hijk" and you want to link this URL using a linktext which consists of the domain only, RTE will always change the written linktext to the target behind.

Example:

1: I write www.xyz.com in RTE
2: Due to the fact that this is a URL, it is automatically linked
3: Now I highlight the whole URL and edit the link, changing the link target to "www.xyz.com/abcdefg/hijk"
4: What happens now is that the target changes as intended, but also the linktext changes.

Final HTML code:
<a href="www.xyz.com/abcdefg/hijk&quot;&gt;www.xyz.com/abcdefg/hijk&lt;/a>

Intended HTML code:
<a href="www.xyz.com/abcdefg/hijk&quot;&gt;www.xyz.com/&lt;/a>

This happens in Internet Explorer browsers. In Firefox, this works well.

Cheers
