@donho ,

24 hours with no complaints! It’s a world record! :-)

Other than the fix to “Append Extension” in the SaveAs dialog, I haven’t yet found anything that doesn’t work the way it’s described in v8.0-RC3. (If only that PR had been a couple hours earlier… Pesky real life getting in the way of contributors’ schedules. ;-) )

Thanks for all your effort on this.

@donho
for URLs that are within SINGLE quotes, the closing quote (%27) is included as part of the URL.
It works fine for URLs within double quotes, but not single.
You can even see the URL underline extend to include a single quote, but not when in double quotes (see image)

@HMin124,

The same thing happens in v7.9.5, so while I agree that it is a bug, it is not a regression specific to the upgrade to v8.0. Bugs like that should be reported by creating an issue in the github-based issues tracker – but you might want to search there to see whether it’s been reported already or not.

Hello @hmin124, @peterjones and All,

Indeed, the apostrophe ( \x27 ) should be considered as a valid character, in Internet addresses, only when not followed with a regex space char. So, if the regex \x27(?!\s) matches the ' !

Best regards,
