Moving page hierarchies between spaces breaks relative page links in children

XMLWordPrintable

      If you move a page with children into a new space, all of the links in the children break because they retain an absolute reference to the old space key.

      Setup:

      1. Create a Parent Page.
      2. Create a Child Page.
      3. Create a link on the Child Page to the Parent Page (using [ shortcut and autocomplete).
      4. Create a link on the Parent Page to the Child Page.
      5. Move the Parent Page to a new space.

      At this point, the link from Parent to Child works, but Child to Parent breaks. I tested with all sorts of nested setups, and for all cases, any page under Parent Page end up with broken links. This includes the link from Child Page to it's child, Child Page 2. Only the top Parent kept its relative links after the move. The rest became absolute and pointed to the wrong space.
