Blog URL corruption test

Clearing formatting in a photo caption still corrupts URLs. This test determines if it corrupts URLs in the main body. (It does, but the corruption is different.)

A test URL with bold text.

Copying the above text and clearing the formatting: A test URL with bold text.

Just copying the initial line: A test URL with bold text.

Resulting HTML:
<br /><div><b><a href="https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1Q91IBeZLh916Q5auDaQ9-x25vh0&amp;ll=41.751693106260014%2C-87.61343805682361&amp;z=11" target="_blank">A test URL</a> with bold text</b>.</div><div><br /></div><div>Copying the above text and clearing the formatting:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7959782850705143626/6217430378893524362#">A test URL</a> with bold text.</div><div><br /></div><div>Just copying the initial line:&nbsp;<b><a href="https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1Q91IBeZLh916Q5auDaQ9-x25vh0&amp;ll=41.751693106260014%2C-87.61343805682361&amp;z=11" target="_blank">A test URL</a>&nbsp;with bold text</b>.</div>

I did the third line when I saw that the bogus URL in the second line was similar to what I saw when I copied information from the new version to the legacy version. That test indicates it is the format clearing that is corrupting user information.
