--- Comment #2 from Gregor Hagedorn <[email protected]> ---
I am not proposing ANY changes to creating a new link. So when you mark the
text wikipedia.org, yes you should be provided with page and the url in the
picklist.

My suggestion is about the confusion that occurs when the link already exists
and already points to an internal page. I believe that then the chance that
users want to validly change it to an external http URL are very small and not
worth the confusion. The enhancement is about avoiding visual clutter and
avoiding accidental mis-selections. And in those cases where you do want to
change an external link to an internal one: you can still do it, only not with
the pick list.

I am not sure I understand the timing issues you mention, since the web page
suggestions are always non-sense suggestions, just prefixing the text with
http, so it seems easily suppressible. The ajax responsible for possible pages
is a different story, but the visibility of that is not under discussion.
