Description
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

Slate inline link node is appearing next to text despite copying and pasting code from example.

Recording
A GIF or video showing the issue happening. (If you don't include this, there's a very good chance your issue will be closed, because it's much too hard to figure out exactly what is going wrong, and it makes maintenance much harder.)

Sandbox
A link to a sandbox where the error can be reproduced. (You can start from the base sandbox here: https://codesandbox.io/s/slate-reproductions-c7gyg or refer to the Slate website too.)

Steps
To reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'the sandbox'
2. Click on 'add link'
3. See error

Expectation

Environment

• Slate Version: [e.g. 0.59]
• Operating System: [e.g. iOS]
• Browser: [e.g. Chrome, Safari]
• TypeScript Version: [e.g. 3.9.7 - required only if it's a TypeScript issue]

Context
Add any other context about the problem here. (The fastest way to have an issue fixed is to create a pull request with working, tested code and we'll help merge it. Slate is solving a pretty complex problem, and we can't do it without active contributors, so thank you so much for your help!)

it now seem to work after pasting more of your code from example. I still don't understand why previous code dont work. still would be worth taking a look @ianstormtaylor

Hi @sewellstephens,

After looking into it, I found that the problem isn't with Slate itself but rather with how the Link element is being rendered in your setup. The JSON structure and editor behavior are correct, but when neither the https:// nor mailto: conditions are met, the children get rendered twice.

I've fixed this in a fork of your sandbox:

You can check out the changes and apply the fix to your implementation. Let me know if you have any questions—happy to help!

Thanks! 🚀
