Description

I dug deeper after filing bug 73201.

Result: ''a[[bcde|b]]''[[bcde|cd''e'']]''f''
Expected: ''a''[[bcde|''b''cd''e'']]''f''

The result doesn't seem to depend on the order of operations here.

VisualEditor should avoid splitting link annotations.

Version: unspecified
Severity: normal

Mentioned In: T188709: Annotation ordering is hazily defined in Transactions
Mentioned Here: T105239: Enable scrubWikitext=1 in VisualEditor's save route to Parsoid

Make "ef" italic.

Actually, you can skip this step, and still get the "split link" effect.

This is essentially also a duplicate of bug 50098; marking as a subsidiary though in case there are specific concerns.

Note that this remains the case even post T105239: Enable scrubWikitext=1 in VisualEditor's save route to Parsoid as Parsoid's scrubWikitext model doesn't aggressively merge links ahead of other styles.

Do we need to file a task which requests that?
