Feedback: Backlink on top of inline-code issue

This longstanding issue has persisted across many earlier versions. I often create backlinks on top of inline-code (a LAYER henceforth in this post).

During the process of creating that LAYER the issue occurs and i have a annoying workaround.

Steps to recreate/reproduce issue

1. Create inline-code with CTRL+G (inline code).

2. Copy a backlink reference from another block. What follows is a twofold issue:

   • Path 1 issue: Directly pasting backlink on top of existing inline code inline-code does not work and resets to e.g garbled with raw backlink: ((20260816140296-2323ib2 'inline-code'))
   • Path 2 workaround: with backlink in clipboard first undo with CTRL+G from text, result "inline-code" without grey contour. Then pasting backlink from clipboard does work. Then add grey countour around it. The order 1. create plain text, 2. backlink paste, 3. CTRL+G grey contour, which stil resets the grey contour when edit line continues

3. Continue editing line after above workaround will undo the grey contour (backlink remains like in ordering nr 2). Workaround that does work:

   1. Create plain text (without grey contour)
   2. Paste backlink
   3. First edit line e.g. pressing random keys or `Keyboard SPACE
   4. Last step is CTRL+G grey contour, which this time does stay.

Solution: This is a longstanding issue that hasnt been noticed or fixed before. I am guessing it passed unnoticed. Ideal solution would be that layered text formatting (e.g. backlinks or inline-code) doesnt reset/undo each other both ways. Right now the workaround requires a specific order of execution to solve/circumvent it.
