 * Hi. 
   We face the problem, that the plugin suddenly starts breaking our internal
   links. It picks a word out of an already existing link and just overwrites it.
   This behaviour is new. We use this plugin already for some longer time and never
   had that problem.

 * Problem is marked yellow in the screenshot. The same problem is displayed at 
   the bottom of the picture. Any clues?

 * Hello. Thank you for reporting this issue. Can you send me the URL of the page
   where this happens so I can investigate it?
   As far as I know, we did not made
   any recent change in the way links are added, but maybe another update might 
   have changed this behaviour. Also, please tell me if you use any plugin to display
   that content, it seems like a list, or it is created in the WordPress editor?
   Also, this happens only in this kind of content or it happens anywhere?

 * Hi. Thanks for your reply. 
   The screenshot is from this site:
 * [https://www.wildwechsel.de/veranstaltungen-heute-morgen-am-wochenende/](https://www.wildwechsel.de/veranstaltungen-heute-morgen-am-wochenende/)
 * In this site it happens with high probability.
 * The list you see is done with a self written code, which generates this lists.
   In this list it’s a H5 containing an a <h5><a>. This lists are positioned via
   short codes.
 * We have similar lists on our start page and noticed that behaviour also there
   sometimes.
 * I am not sure, but I think it only breaks this link lists. But maybe I only didn’t
   notice it on other links.
