Bruce,

Are you sure that the ampersand is causing this problem? I believe using the question mark also causes it.

Can you help me with al little work around that pastes the link always with a target=_blank statement?

Another question is when can you fix it in a update?

thnx
Tim

There is no quick update for this as have already spent 4 hours working on this without a successfully resolution so far, and probably could spend that amount of time on this again.

If there was a quick fix or a workaround, would have told you, but there is not.

Ok excuse me for that.

My time spend on this issue wasn't that effective as wel.

When is the next update planned? I'd like to know that because we have bought the software specialy for this kind of functionality (rte).

There are no plans at present for the next update, but bug as usually fixed as them come in.

Approximately 6 weeks ago I've reported a bug. (as described above)

I'd like to know if this issue is been resolved (if not when this is taking place).

Thank you for your reply.

This has not been looked at yet as it's more of an issue with how the browser works, so I would be doubtful if there is a way to ever fix this.

Hi Bruce,
 
What do you mean with 'how the browser works'?
 
It doesn't work in multiple browsers so I presume that this has nothing to do with browser issues.
 
Kind regards.
Tim

Have been doing some further research into this issue as it is a very rare issue that only happens under certain circumstances.

It only happens if you highlight text to turn into a link and the link used contains a question mark and you also select to have extra attributes added such a new window target. Any other types of link created with it works fine, such as not highlighting text to turn into a hyperlink.

The problem occurs because when you highlight text to turn into a hyperlink the highlighted text first needs to be converted into a hyperlink and then only after can extra attributes such as window targets be added to the hyperlink using javascrpit to search for the link and add the extra attributes to it. The link then can not be found as the question mark breaks the javascript search from returning the hyperlink.

It was originally thought it was the ampersand coursing the issue in your link as this is converted from & to &amp;, however javascript searches ignore this change by the browsers API. What does break it is a question mark which needs to be escaped in some way the same as in a regular expression search.
