 Hello,

 Firstly, thank you for providing and patching WordPress, which is far more
 advanced than what I was able to do when writing my own CMS from scratch.
 I am now a truly thankful user but my days of programming has come to a
 pause or end, so I post an issue hoping for discussion. If there is
 consensus for the validity of the problem, perhaps I can find time to
 attempt a fix myself.

 As a user, during writing a post in the wysiwyg editor, I find a word I
 wish to hyperlink, I pause writing, mark the word and paste or fill in the
 URL in the popup. I am surprised that when I click space to continue, I
 continue writing inside the link.

 I suggest that hitting space ends the link and my writing continues
 outside the link. Bear in mind this is a bug as I perceive it and it might
 not reflect the standard user. I do however consider that me remembering
 this and pressing space after the word then marking the word and not the
 space is lowering the quality of the editor.
