Vote:
Is this a bug?
EPiServer 4.60
When using the episerver shourtcut I get an error. I get the error when both viewing and editing the page. I only get the error when linking to an external page. After having created a page with external link, I not able to edit the page any more.
I get a error message: Exception Details: System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: StartIndex cannot be less than zero.
Parameter name: startIndex

Yes Erik,
this is unfortunately a bug. There is a fix created for it, but you can also easily work around the problem as a quick solution.
The error will only appear when you use Shortcut/External Link to create a link to another web site, and you supply a URL consisting only of a domain, without a trailing slash.
Examples:
#14655
http://www.episerver.com will cause the error.
http://www.episerver.com/ will work fine.
http://www.episerver.com/devforum will work fine.
However, once you have created a "buggy" page you will have a hard time editing it - just as you described. Reload/refresh your edit mode, delete the buggy page and create a new one - making sure you add that final "/" to the domain URL.
