Repeated addition of square brackets on editing external file links

[Spencer]

When trying to add file link with alternative text such as [file:\\someserver\share\ alt text]

On the first save a | is added and also an extra pair of square brackets is appened to the link. The brackets and pipe additions are repeated on each save or preview so I end up with:

[[file:\\someserver\share\|alt text]] after the first preview [[[file:\\someserver\share\|alt|text]]] after the second preview [[[[file:\\someserver\share\|alt|text]]]] after the third preview

I am running: *Media Wiki 1.11.0 *PHP 5.2.5 *The FCKEditor software from nightly build downloaded 14.04.2008

I am running the server on: *Windows 2003 server *Apache2.2

I believe the issue lies in the fckplugin.js file but have not yet been able to alter it to give me what I want (i.e. to stop adding [] and |).

I've tested this issue using MW 1.11.2 and 1.12 and latest FCKeditor SVN extension and the bug doesn't occur there when inserting links both using IE and FF2. I will try to install MW 1.11.0 and see if the bug occurs there. I would suggest you to upgrade to a newer version of MW which is this bug free.
