 Priority:  normal                      |  Milestone:  Awaiting Review
Component:  Editor                      |    Version:  4.3

 Steps to reproduce:

 1. Ensure you're on the Visual tab in the post editor.
 2. Add the following shortcode to the post content: `[foo
 bar="http://example.com"]`.
 3. Copy a different URL into your clipboard and paste it over the contents
 of the `bar` attribute.

 Expected behaviour is that the URL gets replaced with the URL from your
 clipboard.

 Actual behaviour is that the value of the `bar` attribute gets converted
 into a link anchor, due to the automatic linking functionality in the
 editor.
