Pasting a link results in rest of post being lost

Ok so this shit happened to me on two occassions the last few days. Not sure when it started, but it seems that if I paste a link directly (without clicking the hyperlink-button), sometimes the link just doesn't get converted correctly after I continue typing, and instead the rest of the post will be lost. OFC I cannot reproduce it reliable now, but I've had to retype stuff like 5 times and it is really infuriating. One of the posts in question is https://www.gamedev.net/forums/topic/714764-fixed-timestep-with-interpolation-2d-movement-jitterstutter/5458498/.

Think I figure out out. If you post a link, and then immedately make a half-linebreak (shift+enter; before the link becomes blue), it bugs the entire editor out:

FWIW, the editor is completely outsourced (CKEditor).

I've been debating replacing it, but it does some things other editors would require a lot more work to support.. so, that's what we have. It's been a little while since it's been upgraded though, so I can see if this problem has been resolved in more recent versions.
