After you copy a link from the composer, all text typed after that becomes
associated to the link instead of being regular text.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Browser
2.Open new composer
3.insert a hyperlink
4.Highlight the link
5.Copy the link (copy+c, or edit>copy)6.Tap enter once or twice
7.Type some text


Actual Results:  All text after a copy will be associated with the link.  All of
it is in the activated link text, and format.

Expected Results:  After link, all text should be in chosen format and should
not be associated with the link at all.
Confirmed on Win2k using build 2001091905.

I don't think doing the Copy in step 5 is relevant. It doesn't change the 
selection at all and I don't see what it has to do with anything.
In step 4: Does this mean you typed the text to use for the link in the link
dialog and then selected that text by dragging mouse over the text inserted (for 
step 4)?
If you do that, the entire link is probly not selected, just the text between
the <a href="...> and </a> Thus when you "Tap enter once or twice", you are simply
replacing the text with <br>. So it's not surprising that when you type, the new
text is still inside the <a> and shows the link. 
I'll interpret this to mean that you think Enter should have discontinued the 
link, thus this is really a dup of
