      Issue Summary

      This is reproducible on Data Center: Yes

      Given a page with multiple layouts, a table and a macro, converting a text into a link (using the insert link function) will result in the modification of the paragraph where the text was located.

      The behaviour is different depending on the browser used: 

      • Chrome: After converting the text into a link, the remaining text of the paragraph where that text was located is removed. Check
      • Firefox: After converting the text into a link, a new paragraph is created with the remaining text. Check
      • Opera and Safari: Not reproducible. 

      Tested in Chrome 110.0.5481.177 and Firefox 110.0.1. 

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a new page
      2. Add a new layout section
      3. In the layout section, add a new table
      4. In the table, add some text
      5. In any location in that text, add a new macro, such as "Attachments" macro. 
      6. Select one of the words of the text, and convert it to a link using the insert link function

      Expected Results

      The text becomes a link, the rest of the page remains intact. 

      Actual Results

      The text becomes a link, but the remaining text of the paragraph is removed (in chrome) or moved to a new paragraph (in firefox). No other paragraphs are affected. 
      Check attachments for comparing before and after creating the link.

      Workaround

      Workaround 1: Use Opera or Safari.
      Workaround 2: Use Firefox and delete the line introduced to separate the paragraphs.
      Workaround 3: In Chrome, make a copy of the paragraph before inserting the link and recreate the deleted content from the copy.
