I've checked the following wysiwyg editors are behaving in the same way which make me wonder if it should be called bug.

1. Dreamweaver
2. MS-WORD
3. TinyMCE

There is no way for us to understand that those links are related and that the user really wants to have both of them removed. The only possible feature we could think about is to not break links when applying them. Using the reported TC, we could have the following after applying the link:

<p>
	<strong>bo</strong><a href="http://example.com"><strong>ld</strong> and lin</a>k</p>

But that's is a different thing that's not related to this ticket.
