Link highlighting is broken #51

Open TheBrokenRail opened 1 year ago

Sometimes links highlight properly, but sometimes they have an extra highlight behind them.

Here's a sample project that demonstrates this issue.

(Also, is this project actively maintained? I noticed some commits from 2021, but the last release was in 2018.)

So weird, I haven't seen this before. Just to confirm, does this not happen with the standard LinkMovementMethod?

Also, is this project actively maintained? I noticed some commits from 2021, but the last release was in 2018.

It is indeed active, but there's not much to maintain these days.

The "double-highlight" doesn't happen with the standard LinkMovementMethod. My guess is that for some reason, both the BetterLinkMovementMethod and LinkMovementMethod highlights are displaying on top of each other. Also, this is on Android 13.
