I choose "New Post" and start entering in text. If I put in my first link in the WYSIWYG editor, everything is fine, but the second link brings up this box that looks slightly different. It doesn't have the http:// in the link area (like it normally does). If I put a link in the box and hit "Update", the link doesn't update. If I close that link box and reopen, the linking option works fine. It only happens the second time I link to an item.
Sometimes, when I switch from WYSIWYG to HTML view, something happens where I suddenly see the WYSIWYG window RIGHT UNDER the HTML window - like it's a split screen.
When I see that happen, I know that WordPress is not going to save anything that I added. I have to copy all of the HTML code, hit update, then paste the code in the window to continue.
Now I have been on WP for 3.5 years. I have disabled all plugins and the problem continues. I have deleted all files and installed a Fresh copy of WP.
I am currently scouring through the WP SQL to see if there is a setting from an older plugin causing this issue, but have not found it yet.
Really need help on this. This has now followed through 3 updates.
