Inappropriate?Hi Doug! I am fixing this problem and would like to get some more details from you:
- Which OS and browser were you using?
- are you certain that it was the href attribute that had the wbr tags?
- can you describe how this impacted you? What went wrong?
Thanks! -
Inappropriate?Ubuntu (Hardy) and FF 3.0.3 - the problem only seems to occur for longer urls. It is in both the text and the href tag (escaped in the href as "%3Cwbr/%3E").
To reproduce just add a comment to a story and include a long url - it is changed to an tag automatically (nice), but has the href broken up by <wbr> tags.</wbr> -
Inappropriate?I think the problem is related to using semi-colons as the cgi parameter deliminator.
compare these two URL in a story

Inappropriate?It looks like we're forcing breaks in places where we shouldn't. I've added a bug for this (again).
