I tried to change a broken link in a page for which I did the following,

  1. I copied the link which replaces the broken link
  2. Selected the broken link in the page
  3. Pressed Ctrl+V to replace the selected link with the link in the clipboard.

Expected result

The selected link (text) should have been replaced with the link (text) in the clipboard.

Actual result

The link (text) in the clipboard was appended with the selected link (text)

This is perfect. It's now phab:T154041, almost word for word.

Feel free to file bug reports directly at phab: if you would rather. The tag is for this workboard.

Thanks for reporting that! I just wanted to be sure that it was a common problem, so I asked it here :)
