Advanced links editor fails to add links
-
This occurs:
– In WP 5.0.1.
– In the Classic Editor block (but not in the standalone Classic Editor).
– When using the link editor in Options mode (cog icon).All other situations work as far as I know: standalone Classic Editor, both for the Text and Visual tab, simplified Link editor et cetera.
How to repeat:
1. Edit a post in blocks mode.
2. Add a Classic Editor block.
3. Type some text.
4. Select the text.
5. Click the Insert/Edit Link icon.
6. In the resulting dialog, click the Link Options icon.
7. Add a URL to the URL field.
8. Click the Add Link button.Expected behaviour: the selected text is now a hyperlink.
Actual behaviour: the selected text is ordinary text, although when inspected in the editor source, the selected text has been moved to its own line (Firefox Quantum/Win v. 64, “Inspect Element”).
I have only tested this in Firefox.
I don’t know if it is possible to add a post in Blocks mode with Classic Editor installed and activated, so I haven’t tested that situation.
I have disabled and removed as many plugins as possible (this is my development server, the only active plugins are ones I am developing myself). I know of one instance where someone else had the exact same problem and it is unlikely they are using my plugins (on account of me having released only one of them so far).
