Joplin inserts \ character before _ inside a URL

[michaelkowalczyk]

Problem: When manually text-selecting a full URL in the Joplin Editor and copying the URL Joplin will insert a backslash \ character before a underdash _ and make the URL invalid.

However: right click URL > copy link does not lead to pasting a invalid url.

Environment

Joplin version: 2.3.5 Platform: macOS OS specifics: Mojave 10.14.6

Steps to reproduce

1. In Joplin Editor manually text select and copy a full URL Link which includes a underdash "_" For example https://www.gew-saarland.de/images/pdf/Impulse_HattieStudie_Internet.pdf
2. Paste the URL in the browser and notice that the inserted text will include a backslash before the underdash "_" https://www.gew-saarland.de/images/pdf/Impulse\_HattieStudie\_Internet.pdf

Funny note: Github seems not to be able to actually show \ _ withouth the space in between

Describe what you expected to happen

Logfile

Debug seems not not record copy&paste

Isn't that just because of markup? i.e. it has to put a backslash to escape the underscore that would otherwise make it italics? If you right click->copy link address or ctrl+click it then it takes the url correctly.

Isn't that just because of markup? i.e. it has to put a backslash to escape the underscore that would otherwise make it italics? Not sure. In fact I do not use the left side markup editor at all. This is what is written in the markup editor: [https://www.gew-saarland.de/images/pdf/Impulse\ _HattieStudie\ Internet.pdf] <- with no space in between \ (https://www.gew-saarland.de/images/pdf/Impulse_HattieStudie_Internet.pdf)

If you right click->copy link address or ctrl+click it then it takes the url correctly. yes
