Visual Editor Problems with WP 3.5 after upgrading – Local and Remote

I’ve tried this on a localhost install and on my own web-hosted blog.

On localhost I disabled all plugins and switched the theme to Twenty-Eleven and it still happens.

I’m trying to create a simple blog post with two links to online articles.

Click on Add new.

For the title use:

Oracle JDK 7u10 released with new security features

Click on the text area of the visual editor and Control-V to paste it in. Change it to Heading 3 and then add the link of:

https://blogs.oracle.com/henrik/entry/oracle_jdk_7u10_released_with

Go back to the Title and add a semi-colon for the next article and then add:

Q&A: MacFixIt Answers

So the title is now:

Oracle JDK 7u10 released with new security features; Q&A: MacFixIt Answers

Click on the text area and hit enter twice for spacing and then add the second heading of Q&A: MacFixIt Answers.

Set the title of this to Heading 3 and add the link of:

https://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57559308-263/q-a-macfixit-answers/?part=rss&subj=news&tag=title

It’s a mess. Click on text to switch to the text based editor and view the code.

This is what the editor returns:

`

Any ideas?

Worked fine in 3.4.2

Thanks in advance,
