Shortened URLs #6494

Open Archilegt opened 2 years ago

Archilegt commented 2 years ago

Maybe not a bug, but I never noticed it before. URLs in text boxes are being shortened. See example in the "Abstract" field of this literature reference: https://myriatrix.myspecies.info/content/%C3%BCber-die-diplopodenfauna-schleswig-holsteins The expected behavior is that URLs are displayed in full and not automatically shortened.

Thank you @Archilegt

Yes the displayed version is indeed shortened/truncated with an ellipsis (...) at the end.

Fortunately the clickable link for this displayed link is of the full complete URL length and works as normal.

I'd agree that the shortening does not really provide any benefit. It would be a well understood task to pinpoint our code that is doing this and adjust it to show it in full.
