    Continuous Linking

    I have come across a problem with hyperlinking whereby you cannot break from the end of a hyperlink.  Instead, typing after the end of the hyperlink results in the link getting ever longer (with the blue underline formatting continuing).  This can be reproduced by following these steps:
    1. Start with an empty control
    2. Hit enter to move to the next line
    3. Type some text (eg "link")
    4. Select the text and click on the Insert Hyperlink button, type in a url (eg http://www.google.com) and click OK
    5. Try and type some text after the new link, for example by hitting space or even enter
    6. Anything you type extends the new link rather than appearing as new non-linked text
    Looking at the raw HTML reveals that the text added after the link is part of a new <div> within the <a> tag.  The only way to write text normally is to manually type something after the </a> in the HTML view, but this is obviously not good for end users. 
     
    Can anybody help?
     
    Many thanks,
