Can't insert link when editing recent post

Created and posted into a thread. Decided I wanted to add to post, so edited it put my text in and wanted to add a link to an external site (Bandcamp) selected some text, got the link dialog up, pasted the link and the edit was saved straightaway without the link when I pressed insert on the link dialog.

This was on Windows 11 with Chrome 113.0.5672.127 64 bit

Well that's interesting. I wonder. I can only think I must not have pressed the 'insert' button, but managed to get the SAVE button and lost the edit. But I did it three times!!! Still, if you're gonna be dumb, you might as well be really dumb.

Apologies and thanks for taking the time to check it...

No problem, but before you take this on yourself I'd add that I've struggled with the editor. It has it's strengths and at the same time some tasks aren't so intuitive.

In any case, glad you have it sorted. 🙂
 
That's kind of you to say so. Perhaps adding a window border around the add link popup might make it more distinct. In the dark theme I'm using everything tends to blend a little. Also, shifting the Save Cancel buttons to the RHS on the Edit would move the clear of the area the add link popup occupies. Then they'd be in the same place as "Post" normally sits.
