            Bug ID: 69653
           Summary: VisualEditor:  Pasting a link label causes the link to
                    split
           Product: VisualEditor
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Editing Tools

What I started with was a link to a disambiguation page:

  Foo bar [[CML]] baz bat.


What I wanted was a link to a real article, so I repointed the link:

  Foo bar [[chronic myelogenous leukemia|CML]] baz bat.


Hmm, that initialism doesn't appear to be expanded anywhere on the page.  Okay,
what we need is:

  Foo bar [[chronic myelogenous leukemia]] baz bat.


So I copied the long name out of the link tool's field, and pasted it into the
middle.  It produced:

  Foo bar [[chronic myelogenous leukemia|CM]]chronic myelogenous
leukemia[[chronic myelogenous leukemia|L]] baz bat.

None of this would have been so difficult if we could edit labels in the link
tool, in a separate box.
