In this question I posted a comment saying the question belongs on https://codereview.stackexchange.com/

I put the word "Also" next to the bare url, separated by a whitespace, but later when I looked at the comment it appears the "Also" became part of the link.

You inserted a non-breaking space, not a normal space, which confused the parser. I'm not sure that there's a legitimate reason to allow non-breaking spaces in raw URLs though, so the behaviour is likely still buggy.

  • I'm not sure I know how I did that.

  • It wouldn't be the first time a mysterious non-breaking space showed up. Assuming you didn't copy and paste from elsewhere, I'd maybe blame some obscure browser condition.

    @kojiro Some OS's (e.g., Mac OSX) allow you to insert a non-breaking space with [option]-[space], a relatively easy typo.

This has been fixed and will be deployed in the next build.
