In #2510380: Images cannot be linked in CKEditor → , we added the ability to link images even when using the CKEditor "widget" for image handling. There seems to be some kind of minor bug in the implementation.

Steps to reproduce:

- Create a piece of content.
- Add a single line of text and insert a new line. There is now one paragraph in the source code.
- Insert an image through the image button. Save the dialog.
- Click on the image in the editor.
- Click the link button. Add a URL and save the dialog.

Note at this point, the tag breadcrumb in CKEditor says body > p > p > img. Inspecting the source with your browser indicates that two <p> tags are nested incorrectly. If you click the "Source" button in CKEditor, the paragraph tags become unnested and you end up with code like this:

<p>First paragraph</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><img src="..." /></p>

Note this problem does not exist if you have aligned the imaged (center or right). It does still exist if you add a caption.
