--- Comment #7 from John Broughton <johnbrough...@comcast.net> ---
This isn't just a display problem, and it is NOT an enhancement - it's a real
defect because editors are unlikely to take the time - as I did - to figure out
how to make section links work.

Here's what happens now: The editor finds an article to link to (good UI; much
better than the wikitext editor); then he/she starts typing the section link
(#whatever). The link name turns red (that's the display issue), and it doesn't
suggest section names (that would be a really slick enhancement; if you do this
well, people are going to love you). Instead, when the editor is done typing
the section information, one of four things can happen:

* The editor presses Enter/Return (per the user guide), and the section
information is REMOVED by VE. That is clearly a defect in the software.

* The editor presses the close icon (<) (per the user guide), and the section
information is REMOVED by VE. That is clearly a defect in the software.

* The editor clicks somewhere else on the page, and the section information is
REMOVED by VE. That is clearly a defect in the software.

* The editor clicks on the area ABOVE the input box, the area containing the
word "Hyperlink", and VE is happy, and saves the section information. (I'm
going to add that to the user guide, but that wouldn't do nearly as much good
as changing, in the software, what happens in the first three situations,
above.
