Can you please confirm with Editor are you using?

Hi @Dimitris,   if you mean with "Editor" the browser - then its with Firefox and Chrome both the same. I select a text, add a hyperlink while text is selected, hyperlink is added with hyperlink url instead of selected text and the selected text is moved after the hyperlink instead of used for the hyperlink.   Just tested with both - same reaction.   Best Jhekarn

This works as expected in the Euclid editor, but does not work in the Plato editor. The Plato editor is deprecated and will not be improved, as it will be replaced in the future. Either switch to the Euclid editor or manually add the url BBCode while typing.
