I'll have to go back and check previous posts. I've always just copied what was in the URL bar directly, and I'm not sure if something changed somewhere in my usual pipeline. Thanks!

It is only when I preview/publish that it then changes to this strange/illegal combination.

Or does it change to the strange compound link when you do that?

The link back is the post URL + the target URL, when it should just be the target.

I think staff must have changed things somehow. I've never seen this before.

I paste the direct link of the Flickr photo to get the picture, and then manually link it back to the Flickr page. I've been doing this since 2010 with no issues, so I'm confused why it no longer works.

I inserted several images whose source is from Flickr. The pictures show up fine. In the settings for each image, I had it redirect to that picture's Flickr page when clicked. Everything looks as it should be in the editor - both Visual and HTML. But, when it's published, all of a sudden, the blog post URL is appended to the front of the target URL. And it's only for images - the text links work fine.
