Radeditor randomly turns part of the text into partial hyperlink (a HTML anchor tag without url link) during text editing

[Chuck]

Hello,

I have come across a strange issue in the Radeditor, which would randomly turns part of the text into partial hyperlink (a HTML anchor tag without url link) during text editing with shift key and other key entry movement (enter key, mouse click or cursor move).  I tried the Telerik Radeditor demo site and I can re-produce the same issue. (see attachments). Is this a known issue? Is that any patch available to resolve the problem?

Thanks,
Chuck Wan

Hello Chuck,

The same matter is already discussed in another support thread opened by you. I suggest checking the information provided there about the matter. In case of further assistance needed please open only one support thread on the matter. This helps use provide better assistance by investigating properly the provided information.

For anybody else interested on the matter. This is actually a feature available in editable elements under IE and it it is introduced since IE 5.5. More about this is available in these materials:

• IDM_AUTOURLDETECT_MODE Command ID
• Disable automatic detection of hyperlinks with contentEditable (IE 5.5+)
• Disable Automatic URL detection for Elements with 'contentEditable' flag in IE

Therefore, pressing shift and typing the '@' character, IE transforms the text to an email anchor. Starting a plain text with 'http://' IE transforms it to URL. 

To disable this feature for the RadEditor control you can use the following JS snippet:

<telerik:RadEditor runat="server" ID="RadEditor1" OnClientLoad="OnClientLoad">
</telerik:RadEditor>

<script type="text/javascript">
    function OnClientLoad(editor, args) {
        editor.executeBrowserCommand("AutoUrlDetect", false, false);
    }
</script>
