Comment:

 Hey, I tried reproducing this on a fresh WP 7.0 install but couldn't. A
 few questions to help narrow it down:

 - Is it Block Editor or Classic Editor?
 - Does the pop-up not open at all, or does it open but not save?
 - Are you typing the URL with `https://`, or just pasting something like
 `example.com`?

 A screenshot or quick screencast (Loom is handy for this) would go a long
 way.

 Also, could you try the same steps on https://playground.wordpress.net/?
 It's a clean WP 7.0 environment in your browser, no setup needed. If it
 works there, the issue is likely a plugin or theme conflict on your site
 rather than a core bug.
