Description

Safari on iOS 8.2 on an iPad, in landscape, with the reading list open on the left.

I go to fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/autocontrôle_boursier
I click modifier
I get the Web visual editor.
There is a link "société" and then a comma ","
I click just after the comma ","
I press Backspace.
The comma gets erased. Fine.
I press Backspace.

Expected result: The character "é" gets erased.

Observed result: No character gets erased.

I reproduce this bug easily, this one!

It would be nice to fix this bug.

Thank you.

I am not sure that this issue T115618 is a duplicate of the issue T69262.

In my issue:

  • In the general case, Backspace erases the char correctly.
  • On the last character of a link:
    • At the first press, Backspace fails to erase the char but gives the blue highlight and the link info.
    • At the second press, Backspace erases the char correctly.

I make this issue more precise and I reopen it. Feel free to mark it as dupl if it is really a duplicate of the other one.

Same behaviour with Firefox on Fedora.
I believed this behaviour was the expected behaviour. (but I agree it is not enjoyable.)
