Firefox, IE: Text entered after pasted URL becomes part of that URL

[angell]

Environment: Windows 7/8, Chrome 28, FF 23

1. Copy a URL from Chrome's address bar
2. Go to Firefox and paste that URL into a ckeditor text field
3. Immediately enter additional text (no spaces) after the URL

Result: The text you enter after the pasted URL becomes part of the text.

Real life use case: You enter in the text "Check out my website (​https://www.google.com/) Here, the right side closing parentheses becomes bolded like it is actually part of the URL.

Only happens on Windows, and only from Chrome/IE10 to Firefox.

Problem can be reproduced from CKEditor 4.0 beta.

Yes if you paste URL say from Chrome URL bar and start typing after it then text gets linked. It hasn't worked like that in CKEditor 3.x and started working that way in Firefox and IE9-10 from CKEditor 4.0 beta.

There are two other tickets that concern exiting link in Firefox: #8146, #10966 , #6680.

As a workaround in these browsers user can use End key to get out of the link.
Elements path shows where user is - after paste user is inside link and after pressing End selection is moved to paragraph.

NOTE: We had similar issue in CKE 3.x #5978. It was fixed then but it has reoccurred again in CKE 4.x.

Still broken (FF 43.0, CKEditor 4.5.6). See related issue for further explanation ​#14288#comment:7.
