            Bug ID: 49985
           Summary: Changing capitalization of a link results in mangled
                    wikitext
           Product: VisualEditor
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: ContentEditable
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]
                CC: [email protected], [email protected],
                    [email protected], [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---

Steps to reproduce:
1. Insert the cursor immediately after the first letter of a link
2. Hit delete/backspace
3. Type a new character
4. The new character isn't part of the link, so select the entire word and
click the link button
5. Re-enter the link article
6. Save your changes

Expected result:
If you started with "[[Porcupine]]", you should end up with "[[porcupine]]".

Actual result:
If you started with "[[Porcupine]]", you end up with
"[[porcupine|p]][[Porcupine|orcupine]]".

This is just a common use case demonstrating a more general bug. Namely, if you
create a new link that subsumes an existing link, the existing link is
preserved within the new link instead of being replaced.
