Views throws InvalidArgumentException in More Link with external URLs

I've a content type with 2 fields:

• Link
• Body

I've created a view which displays body text trimmed with a "Read more" link using the URL stored into the Link field (excluded from display).
I've done it by using the options located within the "Rewrite results" fieldset as shown into the image file attached to this issue.

If the More link path (in this case the Link field replacement token) is external, Views throws the following Exception (even if the More link path description says "This can be an internal Drupal path such as node/add or an external URL such as "https://www.drupal.org". You may use the "Replacement patterns" above."):

InvalidArgumentException: The internal path component 'http://www.example.com' is external. You are not allowed to specify an external URL together with internal:/. in Drupal\Core\Url::fromInternalUri() (line 409 of core/lib/Drupal/Core/Url.php).
