I've just seen a problem on a single site. TinyMCE is not allowing me to add a link properly. Most often it just omits the href="stuff.html" property. When you then highlight the same text, the Edit LInk and Unlink buttons are greyed out an non-responsive.

Seems to be only on one site. It was running 2.17 but we've now updated to 2.5.2 - same issue after clearing the cache, etc. Chrome working fine - FireFox only.

Any ideas?

UPDATE: Installed the replacement TinyMCE library suggested for IE11 issues and found no change. However, while testing I did find that I could enter any URL into the field _except_ the URL for the site itself. Other sites would occasionally work - but never the host URL. <scratches head and looked bemused>

Next Day: Updated FireFox. No change.

Hi In-house-logic,

I've done some local testing in Firefox, and was able to recreate the issue. If you create a link and enter a full url to another site, for example:

http://www.google.com

Then the WYSIWYG will leave the link as it is. But if you enter a link to a local link, for example if I had CMS Builder installed on example.com: 

http://www.example.com/apage.html

It will change the link to be absolute:

/apage.html

The bug seems to be if you link to the base of the site:

http://example.com

You end up with a broken link button, and the only way to remove the link is to edit the html manually.

You can get around this by linking to your homepage using a relative url:

/

I'll look into this bug and see if there is a fix that has been implemented into TinyMCE. If you'd like, you can disable the conversion of URL's to be absolute using this post:
