url gets parsed incorrectly

[VJ]

Hello!

Just noticed this:
If you type this link:

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Synchronizing_mail_on_two_computers_(Thunderbird)

in a message, and post it, it gets parsed incorrectly. The last bracket is positioned outside of the url tags.

The only workaround now is to write the url tags manually. I wonder if there are other URLs that are parsed wrong...

edit: Now this is odd... The firefox extenstion Linkification makes the same error...

This is intended: usually, URIs don't contain brackets, but you often write a URI in brackets, and you wouldn't want the bracket to be parsed.

You bring up a valid point...

However, if it was checked whether or not the brackets are matched, it would be possible to parse a larger number of URLs correctly.
