 Since upgrading to Wordpress 4.2.4, entire text paragraphs containing
 inline links keep disappearing from posts without a trace, after having
 initially created/edited the post and then posting it.

 The problem is also possibly accelerated/provoked by switching between
 visual mode and text mode in the editor, but it has happened at least once
 (I think) even though visual mode was not accessed at all.

 Very serious bug anyway it seems?

 I found a possibly related ticket here:

 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/28937

 It did not contain any solution though and seems closed due to "lack of
 evidence", and since it was also for an older version I'm not sure it's
 the same problem after all, so I created this new ticket instead. Might be
 related though.

 PS.
 Why isn't version 4.2.4 selectable in the version dropdown for this bug
 report? (I thus selected the "trunk" option instead.)
