This \u201cdefect\u201d occurs when I select a phrase that signals the link to another page. The \u201cword processing\u201d options including the link button appears (white bar), but is immediately covered over by a bar (black) offering other style options for the selected text. There is no easy way to associate the URL with the selected text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I can work around this glitch by moving into code editing mode, but this can\u2019t be the way things are supposed work.
