Selecting a word to create a link with a double click causes the link to be appended to the start of the text.

When I have the text hello in my text block, the DOM tree looks like

<div contenteditable="true" class="st-text-block">
  <p>
    hello<br>
  </p>
</div>

When I then select the text and add a link to http://google.de, the resulting DOM tree is

<div contenteditable="true" class="st-text-block">
  <p>
    <a href="http://google.de">
      http://google.de
    </a>
    hello<br>
  </p>
</div>

How are you selecting the text? Are you using the keyboard to highlight the text or double clicking to select the text?

Main reason I ask is that the link generation is something handled by scribe rather than by Sir Trev so sometimes it's not Sir Trev thats causing the issue.

What browser?

[morpheus-87]

I'm selecting the text by pressing the left mouse button down and moving the cursor - and I'm using Firefox in version 47.0.

[raffij]

Tested the latest version in windows and osx firefox 7. I'm able to add links using both the keyboard and mouse functionality as expected. Are you getting any javascript errors in the console?

[morpheus-87]

I using Ubuntu, for your information. I'm not getting any errors in the console, no. The problem ist, that the link text is the same than the URL I entered and not the selected text, that stays like before.

[raffij]

Does this work for you?

That's the scribe demo page.

If so I can build a version of Sir Trevor with the latest scribe and see if that works for you.

[morpheus-87]

Yes, that works perfekt for me.

[raffij]

Ok. I'll build you a version to test.

http://madebymany.github.io/sir-trevor-js/example.html works correctly in ubuntu 16.04 firefox 47

[morpheus-87]

Thanks, @raffij! But it's not working for me:

[raffij]

So I type hallo. then select hallo with the mouse and enter the url?

[morpheus-87]

Exactly, that I did. I

1. wrote the text
2. selected the text with the mouse
3. clicked on the link icon in the format bar
4. entered the url
5. confirmed

The result you can see on the screenshot. I also tried selecting the text with the keyboard, but the result was the same.

[raffij]

What version of ubuntu are you using?

[raffij]

Sorry can't recreate so not sure how to help.

@morpheus-87 Do you have any other plug-ins running on firefox? It might be worth double checking the error using firefox safe mode and see if you still get the issue.
