Description
## Steps to reproduce
1. Move your cursor over an existing link
2. Click the Link toolbar button (or press Cmd+K) to bring up the link editor
3. Change the link to another link
4. Click Link
## Expected result
The URL of the existing link changes to the newly entered one.
## Actual result
A new link is inserted at the cursor point using the link URL as the link text as well as href. The original link still exists, and is in fact split into two separate links.
Here's a video demonstrating the problem.
