As designed Link: Cannot Edit Text

[Jeremy]

Per: http://xenforo.com/community/thread...-unlink-when-a-link-exists.51845/#post-560514

If I were to type a link and link it, I am unable to edit the text (whole sale replace it basically) after its been linked. Clicking on the link button again only allows me to change where it's linking, not the text.

This is expected. You should just edit it in the editor itself. Note that XF 1.0 and 1.1 behave the same way.

The previous behavior is what caused problems like losing formatting on links and being unable to link images.
