Description

When there is a coma ", " inside an URL then rendering of the link gets truncated at the coma and the link does not work. There are other similar reports regarding Chinese characters, some Spanish letters and parentheses.

https://github.com/keybase/client/issues/6285

I have this problem at both: Android and Linux client.

Research direction
