[BUG] Editing link hides text

[BUG] Editing link hides text

[Tor Kringeland]

Using Org 9.6 with Emacs 29, write a link:

  [[123][test]]

Most of the text will then be hidden, with "test" showing as a link, as
expected.  However if I remove the last ], the link highlighting
disappears and only "test" is shown like regular text (/i.e./ instead of
"[[123][test]" as would be expected).  If I insert a character at the
end or move the text, it is updated and "[[123][test]" shows as
expected.

(This bug does not occur in Org 9.5 for me.)

Confirmed with 'emacs -Q -L ./lisp/ -l org' on latest version of Org.

@Ihor, can you help push me in the right direction in terms of where in the codebase this issue might lie, so that I can examine the related section myself, and also bug a related maintainer about this?

Thanks,

Sam

It is most likely a bug with org-fold-catch-invisible-edits and
org-fold-check-before-invisible-edit.
And it is likely related to fontification code, which may be tricky.

I am the related maintainer :)

Fixed on main via 7c61a3a80.
