#12096: links in conversations include format tags
---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
Reporter:  andresin  |        Type:  defect                                
  Status:  new       |   Component:  pidgin (gtk)                          
 Version:  2.7.0     |    Keywords:  link conversation MSN color format tag
---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
 When someone receive an internet address in a conversation, and the text
 includes format tags like [b] [c=46] (MSN), the final tags ([/b], [/c=46])
 are inside the link.
 Example:
 Someone write me
 {{{
 [c=#0080FF]http://www.pidgin.im/[/c=#0080FF]
 }}}
 when I reveive the message, Pidgin interprets the link as:

 {{{
 http://www.pidgin.im/[/c=#0080FF]
 }}}


 BUT, it sometimes works ok when I send the message.

 Example:
 Copy the address
 {{{
 http://www.pidgin.im/
 }}}
 from the address bar.
 Write:
 {{{
 [i][b]
 }}}

 Paste the link and write
 {{{
 [/b][/i]
 }}}

 the link is correct:
 {{{
 http://www.pidgin.im/
 }}}


 But not if you write it manually.

 Using copy and paste functions found other things:

 When I copy a link using Copy or Copy Link Location, paste it into the
 conversation and delete part of the letters from it, whoever receives the
 message, will read the full address.

 Also look at the conversation log.
