Another NSText... problem: a sticky attribute

Hello,

may I please ask for a help with another problem? The following code

NSTextView *textView=...
NSRange sel=[textView selectedRange];
NSTextStorage *ts=[textView textStorage];
// add a space to the end of the selection
sel.location+=sel.length; sel.length=0;
[textView replaceCharactersInRange:sel withString:@" "];
// set the insertion point after it
[textView setSelectedRange:NSMakeRange(sel.location+1,0)];
sel.length=1; // now 'sel' is the newly added space
// remove the link attribute from there
[ts removeAttribute:NSLinkAttributeName range:sel];

works all right in the sense that the space does not have the link
attribute, but if I begin typing into the text view after this code is
performed, the typed text *does* have the link attribute! To get rid of
it I have to press the left arrow, the right arrow, and then type.

I've checked both NSTextView/NSText and NSTextStorage for some methods
which would control this "empty selection temporary attribute" (or what
is the proper way to call it), but found nothing. May I please ask for
a pointer where this is documented, or at least an advice how to change
the above code so that, when typing into the text view, the newly typed
text does *not* have the link attribute?

Thanks a very big lot,
---
