Extra action Links being added/styled in Rich text editors

[laflannery]

Describe the defect

When I add an action link style within a Rich text editor, it looks like an additional link is being added to the end (or next line if I hit enter). These "additional" links aren't saving and they don't appear if I go back into the content later but it's very confusing for the content editor because I can't find a way to get rid of it. I am also not able to get out of the link style formatting.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to a rich text editor
2. Create an action link, either Primary or Secondary
3. Notice that 2 icons appear, one before the link (where it should) and one after the link (which is incorrect)
4. Try to delete the second icon without using the source code.
5. Notice that you cannot
6. Try to type in standard text formatting
7. Notice that you also cannot do this but instead it remains formatted as link text

AC / Expected behavior

• Link formatting should only apply to the originally created/highlighted text
• No additional icons or action links should be created

This is an upstream issue with ckeditor5. Drupal issue here https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/3376167 I am patching it which improves the functionality but doesn't entirely fix it. We will need to watch it for the permanent fix/patch.

@BerniXiongA6 this is blocked until the upstream issue is fixed.

Talked to @EWashb and I'm going to update the KB article regarding the Text editor to have a section regarding this weirdness to warn editors and assist the Helpdesk with supporting the editors.
