Sun Editor Link Plugin - Unchecked - Open in New Window Modal

[svinayaka]

I am using Sun Editor version 2.47.0 with the default “Link” plugin. When I add a link with the “Open in New Window” option unchecked and set the editor to read-only mode, the link (e.g., Google) still opens in a new window instead of the same window. This happens regardless of whether the “Open in New Window” option is checked or unchecked. Is this a bug, or am I missing a configuration?

What I observe is that in the _anchor.js file, the code is as follows:
if (contextAnchor.newWindowCheck.checked) anchor.target = '_blank'; else anchor.removeAttribute('target');
When I explicitly replace anchor.removeAttribute('target') with anchor.target = '_self', it works as expected. However, in version 2.47.0, the code else anchor.removeAttribute('target'); causes the link to open in a new tab regardless of whether the newWindowCheck option is unchecked.
