Description
When creating a link where the linked text itself contains a colon (:), WordPress incorrectly interprets the text after the colon as part of the URL.
Steps to reproduce:
1.Create or edit a post/page.
2.Add a hyperlink.
3.Use linked text containing a colon, for example:
Example: text
4.Insert a normal HTTPS URL.
Expected behavior:
The linked text should remain unchanged, while the URL should only contain the actual hyperlink target.
Actual behavior:
WordPress incorrectly includes the text after the colon in the generated link, resulting in malformed URLs.
