Editing link with empty href causes a new link to be created and inserted into the existing anchor

Start with the following source.

<p><a href=""><span>Sample Text</span></a></p>

• Edit the link.

• Enter a URL.

• Click OK.

Result:

<p><a href=""><span>Samp<a href="http://google.com">http://google.com</a>le Text</span></a></p>

With version 3.1, I use template to create custom links (a). Template html :

<a class="customclass" href="" target="_blank">File title</a>

Add template, use edit link tool, edit « url » field and then press OK. href link attribute stays empty.

Solution for now : in the link template html code, add something in the href attribute.

<a class="customclass" href="changeme" target="_blank">File title</a>
