Pasting in the editor a link which contains underscores may cut off the part after the underscore - underscores are very common to wikipedia links...
-
[EDIT] It seems not being related to underscores but to some length calculation based on the selected text while pasting... [/EDIT] When pasting a link that contains underscores works fine if no text is pre-selected in the editor. But if you have a text pre-selected in the editor and than paste the copied link, the link gets cut off after the underscore. This leads to undesired wrong references. E.g. I had "Syntactic Sugar" selected in the editor and pasted the link
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntactic_sugar. The resulting link gothttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntactic\_
instead of
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntactic\_**sugar**
This is a bit annoying since such cut off links usually go undetected into the posts. Cheers Andi

Same here with a link I posted in an answer to a question in Q&A: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-circuit_evaluation[^] The "evaluation" part after the underscored gets cut off. The following was the link I posted:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-circuit\_evaluation
[Modified]Here the link insertion seems to have worked correctly.[/Modified] :confused: Cheers!

If you first enter the text, like
Short Circuit Evaluation, then select that text and only then paste the copied link, the part *after* the underscore gets cut off. E.g. Short Circuit Evaluation[^]. Oh, I just noticed that the suspicion that it has to do with underscore is wrong! It seems to be some length calculation based on the selected text. See the link: it is cut like this:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-circuit\_e
instead of the full link
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-circuit\_e**valuation**

I have already reported that, like, months ago, and Chris put it on the "CheckWhatReallyHappensAndFixIt" list, which is to be addressed after all items on the "ToDoListOfImportantThings" are done.

Thanks for your info. Did not see any of these lists, though ;-) As long as I know how to workaround (I know: don't paste a link while text is selected and/or double-check the link after pasting), I'm fine if it never gets fixed... Cheers Andi
