Using the Insert link works fine for a single link, but if I try two or more it's not possible.

As designed Insert link - multiple links not possible

This works if you switch to a mode without support for bb codes in the form of plain
More precisely, when you click on the Toggle Bb Code button, the editor converts the link so it works.
But this will work if 1 and the same link is made this way, if done this way with 2 different then this method will not work. If between the text it will work correctly
Roughly speaking, this is as designed. It's part of our "simplification" code for translating input from the RTE. There are many cases where the HTML output by the RTE is overly complex, so we do some combining of adjacent BB code if they're doing the same thing and the result would generally not be significantly different.
Note that this only applies to a case where you have text on adjacent lines linking to the exact same URL with nothing between them. It basically becomes ambiguous (from the RTE HTML) as to whether that was 1 link split up to multiple for technical reasons or 2 distinct links. The code that does this has been in place since 2013 so it's unlikely to be something that has come up particularly often.
