Description

Hi,

i just noticed that the insert link in the WYSIWYG Field (Visual Mode) is broken. The apply Button is flickering on hover and when you try to apply your changes it looks like the link was applied but as soon as you save or switch to text mode the link is gone. You can add links in Text mode an save them but in Visual Mode its not working. I tried to deactivate all Plugins except ACF and used the 2019 theme for testing and the issue still persists so i think its a plugin issue.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the ACF PRO 5.7.12 WYSIWYG Field using Visual Mode, then compare link insertion with Text Mode. Verify whether the Apply button flickers and whether the link disappears after saving or switching modes. Done means links inserted in Visual Mode persist after both actions.
