[Bug 1501250] Re: double clicking on a URL drops the protocol from the URL

 

This is a quite annoying bug for gnome-terminal users. I strongly
suggest Ubuntu distro patches so that highlighting URLs works again. If
this can't be done in time, we should have a release note with
instructions on how users can fix it themselves.

Title:
  double clicking on a URL drops the protocol from the URL

Status in Gnome Virtual Terminal Emulator:
  Unknown
Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After upgrading to 15.10 beta from 15.04, when I double click on a
  URL, I lose most of the protocol, e.g. if I type
  'http://www.ubuntu.com/' into a terminal and double click, what gets
  selected (and entered into the copy buffer) is '//www.ubuntu.com'
