Looks like it's a known bug ( https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=632797 ) and this issue was initially fixed in November 2009 in gnote 0.6.3.
Canonical somehow managed not to update the gnote package in Ubuntu 10.04. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #632797 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=632797 -- Gnote crashes while adding new lines before a web hyperlink https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/663231 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
