 Hello.

 The "anchor" button in the TinyMCE editor is acting a bit strange.

 From Andrew Ozz's explanation here (http://wordpress.org/support/topic
 /anchors-using-button-dont-stay-when-updated?replies=5#post-5594599).

 The anchor button is removing any highlighted text just prior to inserting
 the anchor.

 Here are the steps to replicate:

 1. Create some text in visual view; `This is a test link.`
 2. Highlight the word `test` and click the anchor button.
 3. Add `myTest` as the anchor name.
 4. Switch to 'text' view.

 You will see the editor has removed the word `test` and replaced it with
 `<a id="myTest"></a>`.

 The original word `test` (or whatever you highlight just prior to clicking
 the anchor button) gets removed completely.

 I think we just need to add back in the 'editor selection' when the link
 is created; and push it back to the WordPress editor.
