Details
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.140 Safari/537.36 Edge/17.17134
Steps to reproduce:
When writing email, 1) enter a URL then press space or return, or 2) select the url then hit Ctrl-K to turn the url into a hyperlink, then press space or return, or 3) go to beginning of hyperlink and press Return or space
Actual results:
Thunderbird 1) fails to turn the url into a hyperlink;
2) fails to terminate the hyperlink, but it continues the link to the next word or line;
3) fails to terminate the hyperlink on the line above or after the space, but continues it instead.
Expected results:
Thunderbird should have 1) turned the url into a hyperlink automatically; 2) terminated the hyperlink before the space or return; 3) terminated the hyperlink at its first character without extending it to the line above or to a preceding space.
Thunderbird should treat urls and hyperlinks intuitively the way Microsoft Word, LibreOffice, openoffice do. Ctrl-shift-K to terminate a hyperlink is unintuitive and a bother because the user wants to make hyperlinks of the vast majority of urls, and wants them automatically terminated by a return or space at the beginning and end of the url. NO URL contains a space or return, so Thunderbird should behave accordingly.
