 * I use anchor button’s quite regulatory in my pages to help readers jump to relevant
   places but for the last two versions of TinyMCE the Anchor button does not work.
 * I can insert a singular anchor with the button, but when I try to insert another
   anchor, the original one disappears. I currently have managed to place anchors
   by manually inserting them in the html, but they still disappear half of the 
   time.
 * Will you please fix the button so that it works completely. Thanks.

 * Anchors seem to work properly here in Firefox, Chrome and IE11. Note that since
   the TinyMCE 4.0 upgrade they look like:
 * `<a id="my-anchor-text"></a>`
 * Can you test if they “disappear” in the TinyMCE example too: [http://www.tinymce.com/tryit/full.php](http://www.tinymce.com/tryit/full.php)

 * I did test in the example, and the first three anchors work just fine. However
   the 4th anchor disappears, just like what I have been experiencing on my pages.
   It will only remember 3 anchors without them being manually entered (and even
   that is not a guarantee that they’ll work).
 * Here is my link for the test, though not sure if it’ll show up for you.

 * This may be a (rare) bug in TinyMCE. Reported it there.
