Inserting a new line after a link typically adds a new line and removes the copied link. However, this does not work when paragraph is about to be split. For the time being you can override the _nodeInsertedHandler method to resolve the bug as in this example: <telerik:RadEditor runat="server" ID="RadEditor1"> <Content> <p><a href="http://www.telerik.com" >link</a>text</p> </Content> </telerik:RadEditor> <script> Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.InsertParagraphCommand.prototype._nodeInsertedHandler = function (args) { var command = this, cursor = args.get_cursor(), container = args.get_container(), isEmptyContainer = command._isEmptyContainer(container, cursor), $E = Telerik.Web.UI.Editor, utils = $E.Utils; var parentAnchor = utils.getElementParentByTag(cursor, "A"); if (command._isEmptyContainer(parentAnchor, cursor)) command._removeNode(parentAnchor); if (isEmptyContainer) { if (command.get_editor().get_enableTrackChanges()) { var tcUtils = $E.TrackChangesUtils, parentTrackedInsert = tcUtils.getParentTrackChangesInsertNode(cursor, container), parentTrackedDelete = tcUtils.getParentTrackChangesDeleteNode(cursor, container); command._removeNode(parentTrackedInsert); command._removeNode(parentTrackedDelete); } } }; </script>
