You are logged in to domainA (http://domainA/typo3/) but you edit page in the domainB (very real use case!). You insert an external URL to domainA (say, http://domainA/path/to/page). Next you save text in the RTE and look in FE. You will see that URL became linked to the domainB instead of domainA as you entered it (it becomes http://domainB/path/to/page). There is no way to avoid it except for relogin to another domain but then you get opposite links wrong (closed circle with no exit). The problem happens because the function in question attempts to change external URLs. External URLs must stay untouched because they are external! TYPO3 has no right to change them under any conditions.

I can't reproduce the issue anymore. It is set to resolved with the appropriate explanation.
