Bug ID: 66016
Summary: VisualEditor: adding a new link shows the target of
the previously-added link for a few moments in the
link inspector
Product: VisualEditor
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: MediaWiki integration
Assignee: jforrester+veteambztick...@wikimedia.org
Reporter: amir.ahar...@mail.huji.ac.il

To reproduce:
1. Edit an article with the words Dog and Cat.
2. Select the word "Dog". Press Ctrl-K and add an internal link to Dog.
3. Select the word "Cat".
4. Press Ctrl-K.
Observe: In the auto-suggestions, "Dog" appears for a few moments before it is
replaced by "Cat".
Expected: Linking to "Dog" is irrelevant here. The previous target and
auto-suggestions shouldn't be reused here.
I find this rather disruptive because I want to use the link inspector for its
primary purpose of adding links quickly, and this actually delays me by a few
seconds. What's worse is that if I'm not careful, I can add a link with the
wrong target.
