I’m also finding that, even for the posts where the coding has not disappeared, the link doesn’t actually work in many cases. It looks like a hyperlink, but click and nothing happens.
Maybe what I should be asking is, is there an alternative method I can use to make a link open in a new, smaller window?
No, scratch that, it works. But I’ll accept either a way to prevent it from vanishing, or an alternative method for getting the same result: loading the linked page in a new, smaller window.

To rule out any theme/plugin specific issue, try:
– deactivating ALL (yes all) plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s).
– resetting the plugins folder by FTP. Also remember to deactivate any plugins in the mu-plugins folder (if you have created such folder).
Tried deactivating all plugins, but still had the same problem.

Also try:
– resetting the plugins folder by FTP. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems. Also remember to deactivate any plugins in the mu-plugins folder (if you have created such folder). The easiest way is to rename that folder to mu-plugins-old.
– switching to the unedited default Theme (Twenty Sixteen, etc.) for a moment using the WP dashboard to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).
Not very good with FTP, not sure what to do before the point where the plugin reset instructions begin.
Changing themes didn’t work.
Could it simply be that the newest version of WordPress no longer tolerates javascript?

Seems unlikely. To my knowledge, nobody has reported/created ticket about this.
Have you tried it yourself?
Try pasting the following into a new WordPress post:
“L or R” answer (click here)
Click on “Visual” and then back to “Text”. Is all the code still there?
Oh, the code turned into a link.
OK…
(open bracket) a onclick=”window.open(‘http://machigai.com/lorr/280.html’,’testapp’,’width=550,height=350′); return false;” href=”javascript:”>”L or R” answer (click here)</a (close bracket)
Anyone? I’d like to see if this is an issue that someone else can duplicate. If it is, perhaps it is an issue that should be reported.
