This is not a matter of "having to be heuristic", this is plain wrong. Here you are matching something that can be easily ruled out by a non- heuristic rule without introducing any false negative, so it IS retarded.
How can this possibly make sense: example.com/foo/bar => not an URL wwwexamplecom/foo/bar => URL What's the rationale? Ok, I see, it seems to be "ANYTHING that starts with www". Even "wwwlalala" is highlighted as a url. That's just plain stupid (sorry, it's just a fact, and note that I AM being constructive by pointing out a stupid error that can easily be fixed). There's no way that something that doesn't even contain a dot can be an absolute url (detecting relative urls would make no sense, right?) At the very least, the "starts with www" criteria should be changed to "starts with www, optionally followed by letters, numbers, dashes and underscores, followed by a dot" (and then at least a non-space character). This would eliminate a lot of false positives with no single added false negative, and it's trivial. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1688391 Title: Highlight of links in terminal is retarded Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Steps to reproduce: - In a terminal, type this command: ls /srv/www/example.com/htdocs - hit Enter - move the mouse cursor over "www" or over "example.com" Expected: - nothing should happen Observed: - The substring "www/example.com/htdocs" is underlined and right-clickable as if it was an URL, which it obviously isn't. It is questionable in the first place that you try to parse urls that don't start with a schema. But in any case, you need to fix your regular expression I guess. I see now that even wwwXexampleYcom gets recognized as an URL. Looks like somebody forgot to escape a "." in a regular expression.
