ISSUE: Adding or changing links is impacted on my end
Hi again,
so far I am seeing on my PC and mobile that adding links does not work correctly anymore.
One can add a link like Tech Community Discussion | Microsoft Community Hub
but selecting a word and adding a link causes issues with MTC to render this link. either it does or it does nothing. And when link on a word is rendered then and you click on this, it will not open anything.
HTML indicates it is a correct link, though.
if you wait several seconds things will happen, if you move the focus or hit publish too early things go wrong. See video in the attachment.
Hello
I've observed the same problem. Clicking on the link doesn't always work, and occasionally it doesn't render properly. Activation appears to be delayed. Perhaps there is a problem with the way MTC processes links? Have you attempted to see if the behavior is the same using a different browser? I hope this is fixed quickly!
Regards

I have not used a different browser. How does it work for you if you add a link and wait a little 2-3 before
proceed with editing or post / reply?
Just a theory:
I could imagine that this delay is caused in the backend. As links and words are checked.
I have tested two type of links in this message and what's also unclear why sometimes it adds a external link sign and sometimes it does not. I can imagine that the sign indicates the link will leave the platform.
Thank you for your reply Allen. The first issue with the link rendering, for me, happens on PC and likewise on Android using Edge.
Please let me know if the recording attached is helpful to get an understanding of it.
Appreciate your hint about the ideas board. Wasn't aware about it.
it turns out that one has to wait after adding, not moving or typing anything a link is a good solution.
in rare cases when I try to add a link I get confronted with this stuck overlay
and the crucial part below is missing. It is not reproducible.
