Linkit sometimes returns '#' for the link text [#2852542]

Linkit dialog sometimes returns '#' for the link text instead of the content title. I haven't figured out what triggers it (see attached GIF).

I think the above error is actually when you try to insert a link with empty results.

I don't know about the error, but Linkit is inserting # as a placeholder for the href attribute.

Linkit is adding some data attributes to the <a> tag and is then "calculating" the href in run-time using the data attributes.
I didn't know what to do with the href, so I put it to # all the time as the link plugin needs a href attribute in order to add links.

This is currently being under re-work with #2844466: Insert external link on form submit.

I will close this issue as a duplicate. Please feel free to reopen it again if applicable.
