Description Petros 2021-04-22 17:11:52 UTC

SUMMARY
**This happens in Greek locale. I started apps with LANG=en and the link is proper.**

In any KDE application's About <application> page, in Authors tab, there is an active link for kde.bugs.org.
Clicking the link directs to a malformed URL address:
https://www.https.com//bugs.kde.org

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set your session LANG to el_GR.UTF-8 (or possibly other non-English locale)
2. Start any KDE application, i.e. Dolphin
3. Open menu Help => About Dolphin
4. Go to Authors tab
5. Click on the link to https//bugs.kde.org

OBSERVED RESULT
Default web browser (FF) opens page https://www.https.com//bugs.kde.org

EXPECTED RESULT
Default web browser opens page https://bugs.kde.org


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.81.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I tested other links in similar window/tabs, but I haven't found any other to do the same.
If I right-click on the link and select "Copy link location" clipboard pastes https//bugs.kde.org (to my surprise!!)

Ha, ha, ha!!!
Reading again what I just wrote, I recognized the ~possible~ actual problem.

> clipboard pastes https//bugs.kde.org

which misses ":" from the protocol!!!

Don't translate urls

<a href="">https://foo.com</a> shouldn't be translated, otherwise we end up
with interesting issues.
