Facebook – How to stop Facebook from deleting a link in the post

facebookfacebook-timeline

When you post something on your timeline (personal profile) that contains a link, Facebook will create a preview of the link (using the Open Graph information provided by the linked site) and put it under your post. Recently, while the link is still visible when creating/editing a post, it won't show up in the post itself.

So this post:

Here's a link:
-> http://example.com

… becomes this when posted:

Here's a link:
->
generated preview

Is there any way to prevent Facebook from removing the link from my post?

Edit: Here are some screenshots to demonstrate this behaviour, as requested by @ale.

Here's what my post looks like when I edit it:

And here's how it appears on my timeline:

The preview is an actual link itself. The links are actually not removed when you post, it would be great if you can attach some screenshots.

To double check, I tried creating one post and checked the same in the desktop and mobile as well. Works as intended.
