URL shortener fails to detect certain URLs under certain conditions

[deutrino]

Often, the URL shortener in Qvitter will fail to detect some URLs if they are pasted after a colon. This may happen under other circumstances as well.

In the following screenshot, I've typed lol hehe: (including a space after the colon) and then pasted a URL, which is misdetected and does not activate the URL shortener button.

If I add and delete a second space after the colon, or if I delete the colon, the URL will be detected correctly and the shortener button will activate.

i can reproduce this in safari browser, but not firefox. safari adds a "non breaking space" instead of a regular space after the colon, for some reason. should be easy to fix!

is it working for you on quitter.se now?

[deutrino]

It failed this morning (on a quitter.se test account) when I pasted a different URL after a quotation mark. The same "add and delete a space" workaround also worked in that case. Now I can't reproduce that bug either, but I hadn't refreshed the browser at that time.

if you hadn't refreshed that explains it. closing this, but feel free to open it if you see it again!

Thank you for the fix! :)
