Adding a link to an image caption

I seem to be unable to easily add a wikilink to an image caption using VisualEditor. When I open the "Media settings" window to edit the caption, I can click the "Link" button to add a link, but then the program doesn't seem to think I've actually made any changes to the caption, because it won't let me click the "Apply changes" button. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?

User:Mr. Granger, what's your OS and web browser? Is this still a problem today? (There's been a software update since your message was posted.)

Yep, it's still happening. I'm using Mac OS X 10.9.5, and the problem occurs in both Firefox and Safari.

User:Mr. Granger, thank you. This is now tracked as bug 71065. It's on the list for the next round of work, and it's assigned to Moriel, who is awesome, so I think you can expect that to get fixed soon (plus the usual two weeks for new code to reach the Wikipedias).

In the meantime, it appears that the temporary workaround is to make some other change in the caption.
