Cannot place cursor on a specific side of the link cartouche with the mouse
Open, LowPublic

Description

Steps to reproduce:
1.Insert a link
2.When the blue highlight is appearing over the newly created link , try to click outside of it to continue typing text (not link continuation)

Observe that the cursor still stays inside the blue highlight at the end of last character and does not let user out and continue typing unless user presses right arrow key from keyboard which does not seem easy to figure out.

When you click at the end of a link the browser chooses on side of the </a> to place the cursor at. The only way for the user to move the cursor to a desired side is with arrow keys. This may well be unfixable in any sensible way, it's just how the browser behaves.
