Off-By-One `RangeError` Crash and Text Duplication in `StyleManager.editLink` and `deleteLink`

packages/core/src/editor/managers/StyleManager.ts から始め、参照されている行付近の getLinkMarkAtPos、editLink、deleteLink に注目してください。ドキュメント末尾の場合と末尾にリンクがある場合の両方を再現し、そのうえで境界位置で例外が発生しないこと、編集によってリンクテキストが重複せずに置き換えられること、削除によってリンクマークが取り除かれることを確認してください。

What’s broken?

In @blocknote/core, StyleManager.editLink and StyleManager.deleteLink perform an unconditional position + 1 lookup when locating the link mark at the current cursor position:

Inside packages/core/src/editor/managers/StyleManager.ts:220-260:

ts
public editLink(
  url: string,
  text: string,
  position = this.editor.transact((tr) => tr.selection.anchor),
) {
  this.editor.transact((tr) => {
    const linkData = this.getLinkMarkAtPos(position + 1);
    const { from, to } = linkData || {
      from: tr.selection.from,
      to: tr.selection.to,
    };

and in deleteLink:

public deleteLink(
  position = this.editor.transact((tr) => tr.selection.anchor),
) {
  this.editor.transact((tr) => {
    const linkData = this.getLinkMarkAtPos(position + 1);
    const { from, to } = linkData || {
      from: tr.selection.from,
      to: tr.selection.to,
    };
    // 

This causes two major issues:

1. Unhandled RangeError Crash: If the link is positioned at the very end of the document (position === tr.doc.content.size), position + 1 resolves beyond document bounds. Inside getLinkMarkAtPos, tr.doc.resolve(pos) throws an uncaught RangeError: Position out of range, causing the editor to crash.
2. Text Duplication & Delete Failure: When the cursor caret is resting at the end of a link (position === link.to), position + 1 queries the character after the link. Since that node lacks the link mark, getLinkMarkAtPos returns undefined and falls back to { from: tr.selection.from, to: tr.selection.to }. Because the selection is a collapsed caret (from === to), editLink inserts the new text beside the old text without replacing it (resulting in OriginalTextEditedText duplication), and deleteLink attempts tr.removeMark(from, to, link) over an empty 0-length range, completely failing to remove the link.

What did you expect to happen?

1. editLink and deleteLink should never throw an out-of-range error when the cursor is at the end of a document.
2. When the cursor is positioned at the boundary or end of a link (position === link.to), editLink should successfully replace the existing link text rather than duplicating it, and deleteLink should cleanly remove the link mark.

Steps to reproduce

Scenario A: RangeError Crash

1. Create a document where a link is the last element: GitHub
2. Place the cursor at the end of the document (position === editor.prosemirrorState.doc.content.size).
3. Trigger editor.editLink("https://github.com", "GitHub Homepage") or editor.deleteLink().
4. Observed: Uncaught RangeError: Position out of range thrown from tr.doc.resolve(pos).

Scenario B: Text Duplication / Failed Deletion

1. Type a link: Google and place the cursor at the end of the text (position === link.to).
2. Call editor.editLink("https://google.com", "Google Search").
3. Observed: The text becomes GoogleGoogle Search instead of Google Search.
4. Call editor.deleteLink() with the cursor at the same position.
5. Observed: The link remains active and is not deleted.

Additional context

Root Cause

getLinkMarkAtPos expects a valid in-bounds position. Unconditionally adding + 1 breaks on right-boundary cursor positions and document ends.

Proposed Fix

1. Guard getLinkMarkAtPos against positions exceeding tr.doc.content.size.
2. Inspect position directly, falling back to position - 1 if the cursor is at the trailing boundary of the link:
