Summary

Given a page that has an emoticon that has been added through the emoticon option in the toolbar or through the emoticon shortcut (for example shortcut). If that page is then edited again, the emoticons will be transformed to absolute linked images.

Steps to Reproduce

• Create a page with an emoticon (e. g. )
• Ensure that collaborative editing is enabled
• Store the page and check the storage format. The emoticon is stored as expected:

  <ac:emoticon ac:name="tick" />
  

• Now edit the page and save it without making any changes. Inspect the storage format. The emoticon has been turned into an absolute image link:

  <img class="emoticon emoticon-tick" title="(tick)" src="http: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX/en_GB/7701/445126ab56584205167f1c035c86df495c7c4192/&#95;/images/icons/emoticons/check.svg&quot; alt="(tick)" border="0" />
  

Expected Results

The emoticon should be stored as: <ac:emoticon ac:name="tick" /> in all instances.

Actual Results

The emoticon has been turned into an absolute image link:

<img class="emoticon emoticon-tick" title="(tick)" src="http: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX/en_GB/7701/445126ab56584205167f1c035c86df495c7c4192/&#95;/images/icons/emoticons/check.svg&quot; alt="(tick)" border="0" />

Workaround

Disable Collaborative Editing - To avoid the issue from occurring

Notes

This could be an issue as emoticons are converted to hard links, and would present an issue when a type of base-URL related migration occurs in the future
