auto-text in creating links not working

With the 2 newest versions, when creating a link, auto text doesn’t work any more so when I highlight text, click onto the link button, I need to copy & paste the link or manually type out whole thing. It no longer auto fills it with just a couple of letters typed so it doesn’t provide link options that can be used in a dropdown format like it used to. Creating links is not as quick and easy as it was before.
