A chat room topic, expanded and collapsed, with a URL at the end

When a chat room's topic is too long to fit on one line, there's an expander which allows the user to show and hide the second and subsequent lines. When collapsed, the topic ends with an ellipsis.

If the ellipsised portion of the text contains a URL, the ellipsis itself becomes a clickable link which opens that URL. See attached screenshot.

This is probably GtkLabel's fault.

Yeah looks like a Gtk+ bug.
Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2014-08-30 18:15:54 UTC 
To fix this, we need a way to identify the parts of the text that are ellipsized away. See the dependent pango bug
Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2014-08-30 19:15:20 UTC 
This is not specific to links, btw. It is just how pango attributes interact with ellipsization
