Add Page Link Not Working (somewhere)

Permalink 1 user found helpful
I just did a fresh install of 5.4 and have built several sites using C5 5.3.3.1 and this is a new one on me.

When I highlight text or images in the content block and choose Link to Page it allows me to do so. The link even shows it is pointing to the page, using the the External link icon.

Problem:
Once I save, any link I made points back to the index.php (home) page.
Not sure what caused this.
Why are the links not pointing where they should?

Side notes:
I am NOT using pretty URLs
I have cache turned off
Using same testing server I always build sites on
