This is expected, as per Org mode's link syntax [[path][description]]. [[boo][ bla [[foo]] is indeed a link with path "boo" and description spanning between [...]: " blah [[foo". For you workflow, it may be more convenient to set `org-link-descriptive' to nil. Then, Org mode will not hide the path part of the links and you can edit the plain text as you wish without being distracted by Org mode trying to detect the markup as you type. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
