Monospace format - insert link not working

[Florian Gehrke]

Hello, 

is there any possibility to use the insert link function on monospace formatted text?

In the new editor, this seems not to be an option - when selecting monospace text, the insert link function is greyed out. 

However, I am currently migrating pages into the new editor format and when converting linked noformat passages (noformat got replaced by monospace) , the conversion sometimes does convert them to monospace format with an underlying link (as intended), or creates standard outbound links with an empty monospace-space behind it. The latter is of no use. Editing for correct display is not possible. 

Couldn't find anything - any help would be appreciated.
