Firefox: Unable to escape from the link

[Wiktor Walc]

Regression caused by [6272]. Confirmed in Firefox @ Win 7 and Firefox @ Mac.

• Load the replacebyclass sample
• put the cursor at the end of the line and insert a link using the Link dialog
• click with a mouse at the end of the link or use the right arrow key to go at the end of the link
• press space, start typing
• result: instead of typing plain text, we're still inside of a link.

confirmed for Firefox3.6.13 Win7/xp/2k3

Simplified TC:

• Open ​http://rev.ckeditor.com/ckeditor/trunk/6271/_samples/replacebyclass.html
• Press "New Page" button
• Type "Foo bar" (type some random text, but do not press enter) then click Link button, type some URL and press Enter to insert the link
• Press "End" button to go at the end fo the link
• Press space and then type some text.
• Result: it worked.

Follow the same set of steps in ​http://rev.ckeditor.com/ckeditor/trunk/6272/_samples/replacebyclass.html to see that it stopped working there.

The attached patch solves the problem for me when I use the "End" key and a mouse to go at the end of a link. There is still one problem however - the right arrow key used to work in R6271. With this patch I'm still inside of a link when I use the right arrow key straight after inserting a link to move to the end of it.

Also with this patch #7043 seems to be fixed.

I'm not able to reproduce the arrow key issue, considering that the regression ([6272]) is addressed, and right now at least TC works with both mouse click and "End" key, we could continue the investigation with another new ticket.

[Wiktor Walc]

The right arrow key issue moved into #7053.

Ticket TC fails while TC in comment:3 is working using the patch.

[Garry Yao]

Ideally the patch could fix #5978, while as I'm featuring only the ticket TC here so I didn't test it in Safari.

[Sa'ar Zac Elias]

Patch also fixes #7043.

Fixed by Garry with [6373].
