extra <a href="http://www.LINK.org" /> links "Posted in"

[carnaticwm]

please do the following - i could reproduce the issue at kishore.wordpress.com as well as a local install

1) write post

2) title: testing

3) body:

3-a) type: kishore

3-b) mark: kishore

3-c) click on "insert/edit link"

3-d) for the url, enter: ​http://www.kishore.org

3-d) press END ( to reach end of word )

-> you are now at next line

3-e) type: kishore1

3-f) publish

EDIT the entry and see the html -> it contains

<p><a href="http://www.kishore.org">kishore.org</a></p>
<p>kishore </p>
<a href="http://www.kishore.org" />

the third line is unexpected and seems to be a bug !

Ok I had a play at this...

Between 3)d and 3)e you need to press enter..

Looking at the html after that point the code is already incorrect no need to save and re edit.. so def a tinymce issue

i was able to reproduce the bug
be sure to hit END, then hit ENTER to go to the next line, then type something
when you post, you'll get that extraneous tag

i downloaded the new tinyMCE (version 2, RC 4) into the scripts directory
and that seems to fix this bug.

Not a major bug (the extra links are invisible), nor is it a problem with WP (it's TinyMCE), so I'm setting severity to minor.

Seems to have been fixed in the meantime.
