Pasting plain text inside links becomes plain text

[ComputecWebDev]

1. Load CKEditor Demo: ​http://ckeditor.com/demo or ​http://nightly.ckeditor.com/standard/samples/
2. Select any "plain" text (no links, formatting etc.), press CTRL+C
3. Place cursor inside any text with <a>, e.g. after the "m" of "Neil Armstrong" in first paragraph
4. Press CTRL+V

Result in CK3.x (any browser): Pasted text becomes part of the link text, there's still only one link Result in CK4.x (any browser): Pasted text "breaks" the link in two linked sections, text itself remains unlinked

This may be semantically correct behavior, as plain text remains plain text on pasting, but it's highly inconvenient when one wants to edit linked text via pasted text.

Fortunately there's a configuration option which allow to change this behaviour: ​http://docs.ckeditor.com/#!/api/CKEDITOR.config-cfg-clipboard_defaultContentType

Although, before CKEditor 4 browsers were making most of decisions how to insert pasted HTML into document. Since CKEditor 4 the editor handles that, so there definitely are some differences between CKEditor 4 and 3.

Thx a lot, Reinmar! Changing clipboard_defaultContentType to 'text' solved the problem.
