General Questions/New to Joomla! 4.x • URL Rewrite Not Working When Linking To - New - Articles

I'm trying to sort out an odd problem with url's not being rewritten.

If we create a link on an existing page/article (our Contact page) to a newly created article, the url does not get rewritten to be seo friendly.

So, for example, if we create a link on our existing Contact page to a newly created article called "a-test-page", the link is:

http://my.site/contact-us.html?view=art ... t-category

But if I create a link to an older, already existing article on that same Contact page, the link is correctly rewritten to this:

http://my.site/cameras/cam-equipment/lenses.html

I'm trying to understand and fix the issue of links to newly created articles not formatting properly for seo.

Here's some of the testing I've done:

=========================================

There are no Redirects in the Redirect Component

Pared down .htaccess to basic joomla options.
Commented out RewriteBase in htaccess
Replaced the existing htaccess with default htaccess from J 4.4.4

Global Config > Site > SEO

Search Engine Friendly URL'sYES
URL RewritingYES
Add suffix to urlYES

Tried turning SEO friendly off and then back on. No change

Disabled all page cache

Disabled any plugin that may have impacted URL's

Cleared Chrome browser cache

Updated Joomla to 4.4.6

public $live_site = ''; in configuration.php is empty

Plugin System-SEF is enabled.

=========================================

None of the above affected the issue.

Anyone have ideas?
