The anchor link does not work as expected when copied and pasted.

Question

Hi,

There is a bug in Anchor feature in confluence. The confluence generates a random string while copying and pasting the anchor.

Steps to reproduce :

1. Create an anchor link.

2. Submit a name, eg:- "test"

3. Update the page.

4. Now again, edit the page.

5. Copy the anchor.

6. Paste it somewhere in the page.

7. Click on the new anchor "edit" to edit anchor link.

Bug : In step 7, you will see a random string auto generated.

Expected Behaviour : The new anchor should have the same name as the anchor that was originally used. i.e. "test"

Hi @Anadi

I could not reproduce it as well.
I tested the entire process in Firefox, Google Chrome & Microsoft Edge Browser and it works perfectly for me.
