Description Jakub Wieczorek 2011-05-11 20:49:34 UTC
When an URL is too long to fit into a message, clicking on it should open the full URL in the browser, instead the shortened portion of it is opened.

I'm seeing this behavior on Arch Linux, with GNOME 3.0.1 and Pidgin's notifications.

For instance, if I receive a message:
"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet http://example.com/foo/bar/baz" which gets truncated to "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet http://example.com/foo/b..." or whatever, clicking on that link will try to open http://example.com/foo/b instead of http://example.com/foo/bar/baz.

I guess the code is doing the URL search on the truncated message rather than before.

This has worked correctly for a long time now.
