Gutenberg: Copy/Paste does not copy internal links href="#ID" as-is but replaces them with links to admin-side

[e467gj6x]

Gutenberg editor interprets internal hyperlinks when copy/pasting. Not good.

I wrote a blog post with a table of contents, several chapters, and return-to-TOC -links. Something like this:

<h2 id="toc">Table of contents</h2>
<a href="#chapter1">Chapter 1</a>
<a href="#chapter2">Chapter 2</a>

...

<h2 id="chapter1">Chapter 1</a>
Really important stuff here, really.
<a href="#toc">Return to table of contents</a>

Now, If I ever need to EDIT this page and I copy/paste any of these links in the editor, then #chapter1 is no longer #chapter1 but an explicit link to the admin-interface. And #toc is no longet #toc but an explicit link.

Those explicit links work as long as I stay logged in, but when the world (my friends probably) accesses my writings, there will be no page-internal links but instead references to the admin side.

I want #ref to stay #ref, explicitly, when copy/pasting.

Thank you for the bug report, @e467gj6x!

We have a report of a similar (I think related) issued in GB14928. To keep all the discussion in one place, I'm going to close this ticket in favour of that one, as the issue is best tracked in the Gutenberg repository.
