Description

Was chatting with a friend and linked a url to a wiki page that happened to have a parenthesis in it. The app autogenerated the hyperlink but ended it at the paren character.

Attached is a screen shot.

Research direction

Reproduce the hyperlinking behavior in the Linux chat client with a wiki URL containing a parenthesis. Trace the chat client's automatic URL detection and verify that the completed hyperlink includes the intended parenthesized URL rather than ending at the opening parenthesis.
