GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 429239
Handle HTML tags enough to linkify their URLs properly
Last modified: 2013-10-28 19:37:39 UTC
As reported downstream: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomboy/+bug/90103 "URLs in html tags in Tomboy do not linkify correctly, and when clicked, send the user to a malformed URL. Step 1: Create a note Step 2: Add a URL to the note, eg, <a href="http://link.com">link</a> Step 3: Note the portion of the above string that is 'linkified', or blue with underline. Step 4: Click on the URL in the note. Step 5: Note the URL that the web browser has been directed to. For example, the above link will send the browser to: http://www.link.com">link</a"
Confirming, but I think this is kind of an edge case. As a user, can you explain why you might tend to have HTML in your Tomboy notes?
"I sometimes use my notes to hold bits of markup whilst re-organising websites I'm creating. Additionally, when I submit articles to ostg, it needs to be html-ified, and I actually write my articles in a note. I find tomboy is much much quicker for these purposes than a text editor. While it's useful to click links to check they're correct, clicking the links don't always happen intentionally, and often I end up with a browser full of a dozen or more tabs of invalid urls. Thanks."
