Expected behaviour

URLs must be highlighted and when right clicked, there should be an option to copy the link or open it in browser.

Actual behaviour

URLs are treated like the rest of the content in the terminal.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

1. Open mate-terminal
2. Type echo https://mate-desktop.org and press enter.
3. Hover over the URL

it was already fixed with https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-terminal/commit/c21a7b374f420b224c24307325061b3bb55aa3bf

Maybe leave one of these reports open until the fix is released in, I assume, 1.24.1. That would make it easier faster for people to find when they are trying to figure out what is going on.

Also, since this is a fairly significant annoyance, maybe it could be a reason to release an update sooner rather than later, if possible.
