I'm having the same issue.

The HTML:

<a href="internal:node/74">linktext</a>

still appears but it seems like it get filtered/stripped by a CKeditor filter once CKeditor is loaded. I've tried setting different security filters but having no luck.

I have 'fixed' this problem by using a similar module: http://drupal.org/project/ckeditor_link

unable to reproduce this, it was probably your input filter

Just to clarify this a bit, I ended up here because I saw the same behaviour using CKEditor 7.x-1.13 and Linkit 7.x-2.6. Links would be saved in content, and then disappear in the editor when editing.

I traced this back to the fact that I had the linkit button enabled for CKEditor, but I did not have the standard link buttons enabled. When enabling both the linkit button and the standard link/unlink buttons, the links remained.

So it looks like for this to work properly with CKEditor both the linkit and standard link buttons need to be enabled.

This is due to Ckeditor 4.1+ "Advanced Content Filter". In short, plugins now need to tell ckeditor which objects, attributes and parameters to allow. Everything not explicitly allowed is being stripped on loading the editor/copy and pasting content.

Read more here:

http://ckeditor.com/blog/Integrating-Plugins-with-Advanced-Content-Filter
http://docs.ckeditor.com/#!/guide/plugin_sdk_integration_with_acf

changing

      // Add Command.
      editor.addCommand( 'linkit', {
          exec : function () {

to

      // Add Command.
      editor.addCommand( 'linkit', {
          allowedContent: 'a[title,href,style]',
          exec : function () {

is a temporary fix to get things going.

The new "link" plugin has a lot of references to "allowedContent" - this might require some larger refactoring. I don't know about the backwards compatibility issues tho.

Changing status back to "active" because it is in fact reproduceable. :-)

The patch from #7 seems to work for me. Hopefully that is all it takes.
