 Open the HTML editor, paste this HTML code


 {{{
 <p>To make this thing happen, go to Pages <a href="http://google.com/"
 target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="This is > an aria
 label">http://google.com</a></p>
 }}}


 And preview the post in frontend.

 The HTML is a big mangled in the output, the link don't show up properly.

 I suspect that it's related to one of `the_content` filters.

 Reproduced in 4.9.8
