Original author: Robert Schroll
Original description:

This is a rather specific problem that is a result of using the reset styles
to make the composer look like plain text without destroying the underlying
structure (#6437).

1) Compose a message in HTML format, and make some of the text into a link.
Remember what this text is!

2) Switch to plain text format. (The link appears to go away, but it's
actually still there.)

3) Select part of the text of the link with the mouse. When you release the
mouse button, all of the text of the link will be highlighted.

Note that this only happens for links, not for any other formatting. This only
happens when you try to select only a part of the link text. You can make a
selection that includes part of the link and some other text just fine. This
only happens when you select the text with the mouse. You can select text with
the keyboard regardless of whether there is a link in the mix.

This is not a terrible problem, and it only happens in a very specific place,
and few people will even get into the state that could trigger this. So I'm
perfectly find with marking this as "won't fix". I just thought there ought to
be a record of it.

Let's leave this open in the event that someone decides to tackle it, but this
isn't pressing for 0.3.
