 In previous WP versions, when your cursor wasn't sitting on top of a link
 in the Visual Editor, the //Remove link// icon in the toolbar was
 disabled, indicating that it was unavailable. When the cursor was placed
 over a link, it would then become available.

 It's now showing as enabled all the time, even when your cursor is not on
 a link. This indicates, wrongly, that there is some action that it can
 perform.

 As can be seen in the following pic, the //Remove link// icon is the same
 colour as the //Insert/edit link// icon.

 Looking at the //Redo// button, it has the class `mce-disabled` added to
 its containing div, changing the icon to a light grey, indicating that
 it's not available. The //Remove link// icon should operate in the same
 way (which is how it used to work).
