 * I’m finding it impossible to change the root url of the permalink of an image
   in media manager’s edit media window.
    If I try to paste a new url it strips 
   out all the colons and slashes :// making the link a run-together mish-mosh. 
   Everything is forced to the root site url. I no longer have the ability to link
   outside the site.
 * This is unacceptable. I’m using a static image placeholder inside a slideshow
   for a video clip hosted elsewhere – any click on the image in the slideshow needs
   to directly load the video link. Older images (before 3.5) still work fine because
   this was allowed.
