Is this intended behavior for external links?

On a client's site, the external link check blocks out the entire paragraph in the editor:

Is this how it's supposed to work?

Oh dear. That should be a fine hairline around the block, with the issue title at the bottom right.

I will see if I can replicate and fix this tomorrow. I'm assuming it has something to do with positioning or is z indexing in the block.

For now you should be able to disable the live check altogether on that site, unless that setting is one of the ones not saving changes.

I haven't reproduced this yet but I've thrown a pile of CSS against the usual suspects in 1.0.9...please do holler if you are able to test.

If it isn't fixed, I would dearly love a screenshot of what your Web inspector is showing for the computed CSS for the ::after on that block.

This looks correct now, though it is a little odd in a block with multiple links:

Going to make a separate issue about that.
