 I noticed that the "Open link in a new window/tab" checkbox in Wordpress'
 editor sometime shows the wrong information. I can get this consistently
 by:

 1/ writing a post in word, including links inserted in Word

 2/ copy the text to WP's editor

 3/ links will be converted from Word in clean HTML and will open in the
 same window by default

 4/ select the first link and open "Insert/Edit Link" by clicking on the
 Link button. The first time, the box will be unchecked. That's correct.

 5/ change that first link to "Open link in a new window/tab". click on
 Update

 6/ go to the next link and open "Insert/Edit Link" again. Oh no it shows
 the "Open link in a new window/tab" checked while the HTML code shows that
 it is NOT targeted to "_blank".

 Example: WP's editor says that this will open in aa new window:

 Bur the HTML is clear: it's not targeted to "_blank":
