I have experienced the same issue, while watching the DOM it seems like the link modal is constantly showing/hiding. (The DOM element keeps flashing on each change).
I’ve added some custom CSS to fix the z-index problems, but the flashing (hiding/showing?) means it’s not really fixed.
It only seems to occur for new links. If you swap the WYSIWYG to text mode, add the HTML for a link and then swap back to visual, you can edit it the link fine (as long as you have the z-index fixed).
Not sure if that’s useful information, but that’s as far as I got with it.
Just to expand on this, I’ve found that the above scenario *should* work, however, if the names contain brackets, whatever is inside the brackets is not searchable.
Searching ‘dev’ does actually return:
– Web dev (lorem)
– Web frontend dev (lorem)
– Web backend dev (lorem)
However, searching for ‘lorem’ returns no results.
It’s as if the strings inside the brackets are being ignored?
Thanks

Here’s a screenshot of what is output on the edit posts page:
@neioo Thanks for the suggestion, I’m using DateTime createFromFormat at the moment to output the date on the frontend but I’d quite like to configure the backend to show the date in the same format.
@james Hi James, thank you for testing it your end, I’ve attached an export file of a field where the issue is occurring. (I’m using the ACF 4.5.0 beta at the moment as I needed to use the Google Maps field).
The attached field in a nutshell:
Date Time Picker field
Display format: H.i j F Y
Return format: H.i j F Y
When editing a post this returns: 12.30 j F Y
It should return 12.30 1 July 2016
Other than editing the database entry as mentioned above, I don’t believe there is currently another way.
I am also experiencing this issue on multiple sites.
Currently using Types plugin for custom post types and taxonomies.

I found the serialized database entry for the ACF block and tweaked it to ‘reset’ it. Sorry I can’t give you any specifics, this was a while back now.
