Bug with hyperlinking

[ Edited ]

I've been experiencing an issue with hyperlinking for the past week or two.  Any text included after the last hyperlink I embed in a post will be included in the hyperlink.  Edit:  It doesn't seem to happen initially, only after I go back with an edit.  Using Win 7 x64, Firefox 7.0.1.

 

I have made this line a hyperlink

 

I have NOT made this line a hyperlink.

I get this with Chrome, too. It'll overtake anything written after it when I post. The only way to stop it is to create a new line. Even then if I go back to edit it'll just make absolutely everything a hyperlink. :smileyindifferent:

Re: Bug with hyperlinking

The problem is with how it is handleing hyperlinks in HTML format. It is not adding the end break properly. It never places the '</a>' so it just ends up linking everything past it.


If you make it idiot proof, they will just make a better idiot.

Yup.  It effectively kills the remainder of the message unless you remove the link.  At this point, I don't feel like picking through HTML code.

Re: Bug with hyperlinking

And it creates a new hyperlink per line so it isn't as simple as adding it in yourself.  After the damage is done, you need to clean up each line manually.  Damn annoying.

Let's test.

 

This should be a hyperlink.

 

This should NOT be a hyperlink.

 

edit:  The above link should still NOT be a hyperlink.
