Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

http://➡.ws/ is a syntactically valid link, yet gnome-terminal does not treat it as such.

Ideally it would behave as any other link, with underlining and a special "open/copy" right-click menu.

Package: gnome-terminal 2.26.0-0ubuntu2

SourcePackage: gnome-terminal
Uname: Linux 2.6.28-11-generic x86_64
