Link Underline Misaligned After Inserting Preceding Chinese Characters

Bug Reports

What’s The Bug?

When I create a link to an object and then add Chinese characters before the linked text, the underline of the link is incorrectly shifted to the left.
It appears as though the underline’s starting position is fixed and does not adjust for the newly added characters. While the visual underline is misplaced, the link itself remains functionally correct and points to the right object.
Furthermore, if I delete the preceding Chinese characters, the underline does not return to its correct position but stays in the wrong, shifted location.

How To Reproduce It

  1. Navigate to any page in Anytype.
  2. Type a sentence, for example, “This is a link to Test.”
  3. Select any words like “Test” and use the link command to turn it into a link pointing to any other object. At this point, the underline should correctly appear under “Test”.
  4. Place the cursor before the linked text, “Test”.
  5. Type any Chinese characters, for example, “测试”.

The Expected Behavior

The underline for a link should always stay directly and exclusively under the text that constitutes the link

I just found:
This issue is not limited to Links. The same behavior occurs with other formatting options, including Underline, Italic, Strikethrough, Bold, and Code.

What’s The Bug?

If you use “paste as link” feature for plain text written in Chinese and type something new (again, in Chinese) in front of the link created, the underlined part wouldn’t shift with the original text it was linked to. Instead, it stays in the same position on the screen and link to other part of the note.
When using copy and paste it’s normal, only happens when user type it.
This doesn’t happen in English but seems to happen to Japanese kana as well (not sure if it’s related to all CJK characters).

How To Reproduce It

  1. Please see the video.

The Expected Behavior

The underlined part should move with the linked text as user type new things in front of the linked text.

Oops… Yes, it is.
I didn’t find this post when I used “link shift” as keywords.
I’ll do a more thorough check for existing bug reports next time… Sorry.

No worries! Sometimes it can be difficult to find duplicates, even when you know what you’re looking for.
