Changing display text for hyperlink is removing / deleting the hyperlink.

Manually typed in footnotes. I highlighted the text “10” > right clicked > New Hyperlink > Put in URL (for this example dribbble.com). Went back into the doc realized “10” needed to be “20” highlighted my hyperlink and typed in “20” > Hyperlink is suddenly gone. And it’s happening with every hyperlink I’ve changed the display text on. I’ve never had this issue before. 

I’ve also done full resets of everything and I am running the latest update. Screenshots in order of process. help.
