Share comment exports the truncated URL as shown in comment view #71

I realize that's a terrible summary, but here's the way to see what I mean:

  1. Navigate to a comment with a long URL such as this
  2. Observe that the comment view shows the truncated URL with ellipsis at the end
  3. Long press on the comment and chose share
  4. Any text receiver will demonstrate the issue: Gmail, SMS, Keep, etc
  5. Observe that the shared text also shows the truncated URL meaning one cannot see the full URL without navigating to the HN comment "item" link first

The optimal outcome would be to get the "source" of the comment and share that (since the source of the comment obviously knows the real URL or one couldn't follow the link).

I understand the issue completely; it's most likely a simple oversight as to which field we pull the share link from in that activity. I'll add this to the next milestone and once I find the time to knock out a bunch of issues, I'll tackle this one as well.

Thanks!
