It seems this bug tracker has the same problem, so don't rely on clickable links here!

Comment 2 Yerrey Dev 2022-06-22 20:03:33 UTC

Can not reproduce with: echo 'test https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achtung,_die_Kurve! test'

What is the context you're experiencing the issue in?

Konsole 22.07.70

That does reproduce it for me, if I try to click the link I end up on the wikipedia search site.

What do you mean by context? I had this link printed in Konsole by an application running inside Konsole, wanted to click the link as usual but ended up on an unexpected site. After looking more closely I noticed the link was not correctly transferred to my browser and also Konsole didn't highlight the last '!' character when hovering over it.

Maybe it got fixed, but the fix was not backported? Is it possible to backport the fix to the LTS series?

It was probably fixed in https://invent.kde.org/utilities/konsole/-/merge_requests/274/diffs, but I'm not good enough in regex to confirm if it is this specifically. But it seems to work in master.

There were recent changes in the URL parsing code in master, and it looks like this is fixed already (I tested and the url includes the trailing '!').

Any chance of the fix getting backported to the LTS series?

Comment 7 Ahmad Samir 2022-07-02 18:23:59 UTC

The fixes will be in 22.04.3 (which will be released this month https://community.kde.org/Schedules/KDE_Gear_22.04_Schedule).
