insert link button: "or link to existing content" option is gone
-
When I attempt to use the “add link” button in the visual editor, I can no longer choose the “or link to existing content” option. This option simply no longer appears on the popup window that comes up after clicking the chain-link button.
The “or link to existing content” option is shown in several placed in the WordPress help on this page:

I am using chrome 47.0.2526.80 (64-bit) under Fedora 22 linux.
One possible relevant fact is that a couple weeks ago I switched from a free to a premium WordPress account.
I couldn’t find any help in the forums. Thanks!

That’s a known issue in the new editor https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/editor-feedback?replies=739
If you use the classic editor this isn’t an issue.
You cannot deactivate the new Beep Beep Boop editor but you do not have to use it.

Thanks @timethief. I appreciate the quick reply. I used the classic editor and everything is just fine now. I do like the beep beep boop editor, though. Hopefully this problem will be resolved soon.
