Link text is not updated when link protocol is changed

[JoeK]

1. Click on the Link button to open the Link dialog.
2. Enter a URL, for example www.bbc.co.uk
3. Choose  https:// for the protocol and click OK.
4. Observe that the link is displayed as  https://www.bbc.co.uk
5. Right click on the link and open the Link dialog.
6. Update the protocol to  ftp:// and click OK
7. Observe that the link text remains as  https://www.bbc.co.uk.

If you view the HTML source you can see that the link text has not updated:

<a href="ftp://www.bbc.co.uk">https://www.bbc.co.uk</a>

There is no bug here. It's missing feature. The fact is that the dialog doesn't look at the text when changing a link. It just assumes that the text present there is something written by the user; it could be an URL or any other kind of text.

We could consider a new feature that, in the case the link text matches the original href value, the text is also changed when updating the URL.

The idea about having a new field for the link text is interesting, but it's out of the scope of this ticket. A dedicated ticket could be opened for that. We should instead provide a simpler solution for it.
