Article editor - cannot link to an anchor on start page
Steps to reproduce the issue
Edit article Add link per link icon with target like /#my-startpage-anchor
Expected result
<p>Some link to an <a href="/#my-startpage-anchor">anchor</a></p>
Actual result
<p>Some link to an <a href="#my-startpage-anchor">anchor</a></p> ⇨ Leading slash removed, link will not work on any sub-page/url
System information
Joomla! 5.1.0 PHP 8.3.4 as fpm-fcgi on nginx
Additional comment
Trailing slash also gets removed when adding link manually in html source code w/ tyinmce editor turned off.
Is this something that used to work? There have been quite a few changes in 5.1 which may have created this https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/pulls?q=is%3Apr+trailing+slash+is%3Amerged
Just checked, same problem in Joomla 3.10.12

@o-joomla-issues I cannot replicate your problem with tinyMCE. j 5.1.0,
I write your link in html-mode, save and the result is
<p>Some link to an <a href="../#my-startpage-anchor">anchor</a></p>
Where does the .. come from? .. is different from / and might not lead to the start page.

I used tinyMCE entered your code into an article and saved. This was the result after saving the article therefore comes from tinyMCE.
That's odd. With all Joomla versions I manage, it never adds dots. Maybe we have different settings for URL rewrite. But either - removing leading slash or adding dots - is an issue as it breaks links. TincMCE should not change links in any way.

Have you tried setting tinymce to use absolute instead of relative urls?
