 * Hi,
 * I’m using this plugin on 2 sites (btw thank you, this is a very useful plugin!),
   a since I upgraded to WordPress 4.2.2 it’s a little bit buggy.
 * I’m using the Shortcode functionnality, and when I try to insert the shortcode
   in TinyMCE via the link popup it actually inserts nothing. The behaviour in the
   popup itself is the same as before, the preview of the shortcode works, etc. 
   It’s only when I click the “Add shortcode” button that it fails to add it to 
   the editor. (I think it adds an empty A tag with the shortcode in the href attribute)
 * On the frontend my existing pages with shortcodes still work fine.
 * I cleaned all my browser cache + WordPress cache and there is no Javascript error
   in the debug console.
 * Thanks in advance!
    Matt

 * [@matt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/matt/), thank you for your report!
   I was able to re-produce the bug.
 * As it often is, this was an ‘enhancement’ introduced with the last update. It
   should work now with [version 2.1.3](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/b09-link-to-existing-content.2.1.3.zip).
 * Could you please test it and report back?
