This should be resolved now.

I have a further (related) observation which makes the UX confusing, especially for non-technical users. Let me know if I should create this as a separate issue?
When creating a new link, and after selecting the page (but before confirming OK), the "Select resource" dropdown remains empty, which misleads users into thinking no page/link will be generated.
Step to reproduce
Observed behavior
The "Select resource" field remains empty, even though a page has been selected
Expected behavior
The "Select resource" field should display the currently selected resource before the OK button is pressed.
Environment
MODX 2.x / 3.x
PHP 8.3
TinyMCE Rich Text Editor 3.1.1
Screenshot
This is how the interface appears AFTER I have selected a page when creating a new link. It implies no page has been selected (even though it has)

I can reproduce the issue as described by @andrewcsp across all sites.
