Simply pasting any link to a forum htread or external link produces an incorrect link.

While the text looks OK, if you hover over it you will see that the actual active link has been replaced by a link to the post you just made or are on, and not the thread or link you intended the link to be to.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news

Click it and you end back here.

https://twitter.com/

Same for links to other threads and posts in the forum.

However, if I click

to switch to source mode

then

to insert a link via that button (which auto formats the BBCode)

I get
