Eye marker broken when sentence/paragraph contains a link
Please give us a description of what happened.
When the sentence or paragraph that is supposed to be highlighted contains a link, the eye marker does nothing.
Please describe what you expected to happen and why.
The relevant text to be highlighted no matter whether there's a link or not in the text.
How can we reproduce this behavior?
- Create a post
- Add some text (sample text below)
- Check that the eye marker for the multiple readability and keyword checks works as expected (image one below for the keyphrase distibution check)
- Add a link to one of the paragraphs and note that the eye marker doesn't highlight anything in the paragraph anymore
NOTE: This affects multiple readability and keyword checks: keyword distribution, keyword density, transition words, link keyphrase, etc.

The issue is not reproduced with WP 5.0.3 and Yoast SEO 9.6.
@monbauza can you please confirm it?
It doesn't occur in Gutenberg (I confirm it), but when the Classic Editor v1.4 plugin is activated, it still occurs.
