[Bug 514967] [NEW] Tilda link interpreter fails on links surrounded by parentheses

[Patrick Walker]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: tilda

Description:	Ubuntu 9.10
Release:	9.10

tilda:
  Installed: 0.09.6-1ubuntu1
  Candidate: 0.09.6-1ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 0.09.6-1ubuntu1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Tilda makes links clickable, and does a fairly good job of doing so. However, it doesn't work properly if the link is surrounded by parentheses. For example
http://launchpad.com/
Will be made clickable in tilda
(http://launchpad.com/)
Will also be made clickable, but if you click the link on on the right side it will append the closing parentheses as part of the link and cause the link to not work properly. This is easier to see with links that have a path such as
(https://launchpad.net/ubuntu)
The interpreter will allow you to focus on the domain (hover on the left) or the domain and path (hover on the right) but if you click the link that contains a domain and path it will append the closing parentheses.
