            Bug ID: 55839
           Summary: VisualEditor: Link inspector does not show suggestions
                    dropdown on open if link target is the same as the
                    target of the most recently inspected link
           Product: VisualEditor
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Editing Tools

1. Create a page with two links that point to the same page or URL, and a link
that points to a different page/URL
2. Inspect one of the twin links with the link inspector. The suggestions
dropdown is displayed (*)
3. Inspect the other twin link. The suggestions dropdown isn't displayed
4. Inspect the third link. The suggestions dropdown is displayed again
5. Inspect the link from #3. The suggestions dropdown is displayed now
6. Close the inspector, the inspect the same link again. The suggestions
dropdown isn't displayed

This is because the value in the text input doesn't change when you inspect the
same link twice or inspect two links with the same target. The link inspector
should consistently display the dropdown when it opens.

(*) I would argue that we should /not/ display the dropdown in this case, IMO
it's useless and confusing. But the point of this bug is that we should have
consistent behavior.
