Bug#415849: rxvt-unicode: url parsing of mark-urls appears to be suspect

I'm not sure what would be considered right there, but I'm inclined to say that since . is a valid character in a URL it should be selected. On logical grounds I'm inclined to agree. OTOH, it's fairly common to see cases where the . is intended to be a sentence period, not a part of the URL. I agree that my original complaint seems fixed. -- http://rrt.sc3d.org/ | compulsion, n. the eloquence of power (Bierce) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Package: rxvt-unicode Version: 7.9-2 Severity: minor As ever, I suspect the problem is trying to balance matching things that can possibly be valid URLs against things that aren't intended to be.
