Actually there are other issues with URL's & SM 2.0. For example if I
copy this link into SM:

<http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=0#complete=0&hl=en&q=ubuntu+%2B"*ERROR*+Failed+to+restore+crtc";>

Notice that the url link stops just after %2B" and just before
*ERROR*+Failed+to+restore+crtc"> So, you can't click the link from my
msg to bring up the full url; all you will get is the
http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=0#complete=0&hl=en&q=ubuntu+%2B
part.

Also notice that when SM 2.0 copies a link with spaces in the url:
<https://help.ubuntu.com/community#Getting to know and work with your
system>
It does the above. However, if you go to the same link with 1.1.18 and
copy, you get this:
<https://help.ubuntu.com/community#Getting%20to%20know%20and%20work%20with%20your%20system>

Which reminds, me; it's time to revisit:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=475896
[When accessing urls in firefox with %20, it is replaced with a
whitespace. Breaks other software if you try to copy-paste part of the
url out of firefox]
