Hey, @ckeditor/qa-team - there's a new feature to check - AutoLink. It has its own manual test and section in Link feature guide.

cc @Reinmar since Olek is out could you take a quick look at the feature guide:

Test case:

1. Use all-features sample. Add the AutoLink plugin.
2. Clear the editor.
3. Type: Type whatever.
4. Each word is treated as link.

The same result I've got in the autolink MT.

[pomek]

The feature looks good. Unfortunately, it replaces too many words.

I've updated the commit/merge message.

@pomek I think I've addressed all the issues.

A text remains as a plain text.

I think that the selection remains after <br> so the second enter is executed on:

https://google.pl<br>
[]

In that case it works OK.

Do you recall a bug with rendering selection after shift+enter? I think that I saw something like that.

[jodator]

@Mgsy - I've found something similar: #1576 looks like Chrome bug.

I think that the selection remains after <br> so the second enter is executed on:

True, now I see that the selection doesn't change - it stays after <br>. Only the caret renders in incorrect place.

[jodator]

Yep, FF works fine:

@pomek two more things to add. I've forgot about disabling this.

[jodator]

@pomek OK I've fixed the issues with disabling AutoLink feature in code blocks and when using forceDisabled().

@Mgsy dup of: #7459 ?

@Mgsy dup of: #7459 ?

Yes, it looks like this is the same issue :)

I've tested it in various browsers and the feature looks good 👍

[jay2503]

is this feature released with v20.0.0? I could not find autolink.js under source with the latest installation.

[jodator]

@jay2503 - it will be available in the upcoming release. If everything goes well it should be released next week.
