App
Thunderbird for Android
App version
latest
Where did you get the app from?
F-Droid
Android version
15
Device model
No response
Steps to reproduce
Paste URL from clipboard, eg. https://mozilla.org/, it is transformed to <https://mozilla.org/>.
Expected behavior
Just leave the pasted text as it is.
Previously the behaviour was correct.
I don't understand why there are brackets added. But in some email software this causes the URLs to no longer be clickable.
Actual behavior
Pasted URL is modified to be surrounded by brackets: <https://mozilla.org/>

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in Thunderbird for Android by pasting https://mozilla.org/ into the message composition text field, then trace the paste handling for URL text. Done means pasted URLs remain unchanged rather than being surrounded by angle brackets, while normal message composition behavior still works.
