Description Amir E. Aharoni 2014-06-02 08:52:23 UTC 
To reproduce:

1. Edit an article with the words Dog and Cat.
2. Select the word "Dog". Press Ctrl-K and add an internal link to Dog.
3. Select the word "Cat".
4. Press Ctrl-K.

Observe: In the auto-suggestions, "Dog" appears for a few moments before it is replaced by "Cat".
Expected: Linking to "Dog" is irrelevant here. The previous target and auto-suggestions shouldn't be reused here.

I find this rather disruptive because I want to use the link inspector for its primary purpose of adding links quickly, and this actually delays me by a few seconds. What's worse is that if I'm not careful, I can add a link with the wrong target.
