Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Highlight a block of text, and make it bold or italics and the block is bookended by the appropriate tags.
Highlight a block of text, and make it a link, and the link is created as:
<a href="http://thedomain.com">LINK TEXT</a>formerly highlighted text
resulting in this appearance:
LINK TEXTformerly highlighted text
This has been confusing many users on a couple of our sites, where we're getting many posts and comments with LINK TEXT embedded.

thinkinkless commented+1 on this issue - just tested today.
I looked at the code and don't know how to implement a workaround. Ideally there would be 2 fields but you can't do that with the current method (prompt).
Either way, this is a great alternative to 'tiny'! Our safari users thank you.

Bèr Kessels commentedBoth are known issues and made, kindof, intentionally.
Since it is hard to make the text wrap around the selected text *on all browsers* I chose to let it work the way it does now: by not wrapping anywhere.
If you present a working patch, i will include it directly, if possible to 4.6 and 4.7.
