### Summary When selecting all content (Ctrl+A) in a paragraph that consists entirely of a link, the Link formatting button on the top toolbar becomes inactive instead of reflecting the active link state. ### Steps to Reproduce 1. Open Lexical Playground with a document containing only a link (`Lexical website` -> `https://lexical.dev/`). 2. Focus the editor and select the text manually with `Home` + `Shift+End` (the Link toolbar button is highlighted). 3. Press `Ctrl+A` to select all. ### Expected Behavior The Link toolbar button should stay highlighted/active because the selection is inside/covering the link. ### Actual Behavior The Link toolbar button loses its active highlight state. *Recorded with SceneRecap.*
