      The new editor does not properly create links that do not use one of the standard web protocols when inserting with the Insert Link dialog (e.g. http://, ftp://). It creates the <a> but without a href attribute. In 3.5 and earlier, you could create a link for any protocol type using wiki markup: [something://mysite.com]. Inserting the wiki markup results in the link being stripped and the URI appearing as plaintext.

      The only workaround is to insert a link manually with the HTML macro, but not all sites will be able to enable this macro for security reasons.
