askapache on "_wp_link_placeholder in the Link Tool Options"

I searched for this and found only one other user reporting it in the forums.

There seems to be a number of discussions about the failures of the new inline link tool in 4.5.

In the Link Options area, the code: _wp_link_placeholder appears in the link area when adding a new link, on all of my sites (all using Genesis w/child themes). I'm wondering if this is a wider problem than just a plugin or theme conflict.

This placeholder text requires the user to highlight or double click to highlight, and hit delete before a new URL can be entered.

I'm able to make the link tool work, but it's added many new clicks/mouse actions, so is a usability fail in my opinion.
