Wim LeersPlease upload the screencast as an attachment to this issue. Those Dropbox links will stop working eventually.

Wim LeersAlso, this is not at all Quick Edit-specific. This is just CKEditor behavior.
Also, this is not at all related to
<a href="#">just empty anchor</a>links. You can reproduce it with ANY link.This is an edge case of CKEditor's selection logic: as soon as you type one character, it considers that the end of the
<a>'s content, and hence it puts subsequent characters outside of the<a>.Comment #4

Wim LeersFor a moment, I thought it was a bug in
drupallink(Drupal 8's own link plugin), but it's actually a bug in CKEditor's officiallinkas well, because I can easily reproduce this at http://ckeditor.com/demo also.Comment #6

Bcwald CreditAttribution: Bcwald commentedI too can replicate it on any link, so long as I start with the last character in the link. For example:
<a href="#">Test link</a>adding anything after the K breaks. or if I delete a word and start at the end.
But if I were to start typing at the beginning or middle, say I add "Another" between Test and LInk, it works fine.

Wim Leers#6: Thanks!
#7: yep.
Now blocked on feedback from the CKEditor team. I pinged them.
I also cross-posted this to Backdrop's issue queue: https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop-issues/issues/1631 (we have a great working relationship with them wrt CKEditor-related issues).

mlewand CreditAttribution: mlewand commentedThat's interesting couple of notes:
So it should be reported to Chromium team. It's to be determined whether it's a WebKit issue, if so we should also report it to their bugzilla.
Comment #12
Wim LeersYep, also happens in WebKit. At least in Safari 9.0.3.
Could you report this to both browser vendors? You have much more experience with that.
Comment #13
Bcwald CreditAttribution: Bcwald commentedConfirmed. It is happening on WebKit mac for me. Chrome/Safari.
I also confirmed this issue does *not* happen on FF.
Appears you are correct that it's a Webkit specific issue.

Wim LeersAdding prefix so it's visually clear when looking at the list of open issues which ones we cannot actually fix.
