I think this is an expected behaviour because whenever you want to edit your site or links you need to be able to click on them without taking any action to be able to modify its content.
Thanks for posting here. This is a bug — clicking links in the Editor should still take you to the correct page. That said, it’s a bug we pushed a fix for some time ago, so it’s odd that it’s cropped back up.
@studiopitt, for now can you please try to resolve this by going into the Designer and replacing the links that are broken? This should unblock you/your client when using the links in the Navigator while the team looks for a fix.
