 * I’ve noticed since the editor update that occasionally small changes won’t save,
   and I have to go into the html in order to get them to stick. Most recently I
   noticed this with trying to change a link to open in a new tab/window. Tried 
   it several times and wouldn’t save/update until I finally just changed it within
   the html.

 * If you’re using the Classic Block, then there’s a couple of known bugs there,
   especially with the Link Editor. Many of these should be fixed in 5.0.2.
 * The normal links in the other blocks should work fine. It’s just the Classic 
   Block that has a few of these issues.

 * Same for me – hyperlinks not saving (using 5.0.2 and latest version of theme).
   Very frustrating bug. And (it seems to me, anyway) something very basic to be
   broken. Any time-frame on fix?? Thanks.

 * I am using 5.03 – and this is still an issue. If I change a link in the visual
   editor and click update – it appears to save but the change is not there. I’m
   having to edit in HTML.
 * Has this been officially reported?
