Description

Whenever I'm using the new editor and I click "edit mention" to change the text of a hyperlink, it opens up a box that lets me type in the text I want to display. However, if I highlight any amount of text in this dialogue box, the dialogue box closes and opens the article that the link leads to. I have to individually delete the existing text letter-by-letter for it to work properly.

Steps to Reproduce

Create a link to an article using the @ mentioning system.

Hover over the link.

Click "edit mention"

Highlight text

Related. Trying to open the "edit mention" dialogue also occasionally opens the article. Then, if I do get it open, clicking on it in the wrong place also opens the article.
