Thanks for the report. This is a regression introduced in 4.7.0, most likely it was introduced when adapting link plugin to multi range support.

It seems to be a cross browser, as I also tested also Edge and it's the same thing there.

In addition to what was reported by OP I can see that it's no longer possible to open edit dialog with a double click, which sounds like is related to this issue.

Fix should be easy, so as always, community PRs are welcome.

The issue with double click is connected with fix for http://dev.ckeditor.com/ticket/11956 which also landed in 4.7.0, but it's completely unrelated to the one that cause this issue.
