The behaviour has changed since the last depot it seems. Currently when using
Firefox 22 on Xubuntu Linux:
*Selecting part of a word and pressing ctrl+k means I can link only the
selected part (previously ctrl+k was selecting the whole word and then opening
the link dialog). This currently works as it should.
*Unlinking part of a word or multi-word link is not possible with the link
tool: 
**If there is the link [[Background]] and I select "ground" and press ctrl+k
the selection is changed to "Background" and then the link dialog opens
**If there is the link [[Woolwich Arsenal station]] and I select "station" and
press ctrl+k the selection is changed to "Woolwich Arsenal station" and then
the link dialog opens. (This has not changed since my previous comment)
*Selecting part of a linked word or phrase and removing the formatting does
remove the link only on the selection, but also removes any and all other
formatting on that selection. Per Bug 51757 this is not desirable.
