On adding links it fails first time and duplicates text 2nd time

[chandan]

Steps to reproduce

Secenario : I am using ckeditor in inline mode in a angular project. The ckeditor is added using the angular-ckeditor directive (​https://github.com/lemonde/angular-ckeditor) HTML:

<div class="section-editor" ckeditor="options" ng-model="section.content" contenteditable="true" ready="ckeditorOnReady($instance)" ></div>

1. I select a text (Example towards) and do add link. The popup opens I add my url. On doing OK, Sometimes on first click it does not work and produces an error in console (error attached). On again doing OK it works, but in the ckeditor I see 2 times my text (towards). Once with the right url and once just plain text.

Expected result

The link should be added in first attempt without any error

Actual result

Sometimes the link doesnt get inserted in the first attempt and there is an error in console.

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'getParent' of undefined

Other details (browser, OS, CKEditor version, installed plugins)

It can be reproduced in all the browsers and any OS. We are using Ckeditor verson : 4.5.11 (we tried updating the ckeditor version to 4.6.2 but it didnt fix the error) ==

At first sight It looks like CKEditor is losing selection thus link can't be applied to it. Could you perhaps use ​source version of the editor to see where the error is being thrown exactly?

I can see you are using a couple of third-party plugins. Could you disable all these plugins as well as third-party scripts (which might perhaps be breaking selection in editor when dialog is shown), clear ​browser cache and re-check the problem.
If it doesn’t occur, could you try enabling your plugins and scripts one by one to see when problem pops out. I understand that can take some time but I can't see any other way to approach this especially that problem doesn't occur in default editor.

Are you by any chance able to reproduce this issue in CKEditor set up as standalone folder on your server?

thanks a lot for replying. I will try to disable the 3 party plugins and see if it helps. Also will use source version to see the origin of the error.
