CodeMirror has to make reasonable assumptions about the Wikitext which may be incomplete during editing (the so-called error tolerance). In this particular case, CodeMirror has to assume that [https://example.com is an incomplete external link instead of a plain [ plus a free external link, which makes total sense to most situations.
