Hyperlinks not ended correctly if extra characters at end

Richard Luxenberg

I recently noticed that Notepad++ interprets hyperlinks with extra characters at the end of the link incorrectly. For example, the following text in Notepad++:

(http://notepad-plus-plus.org)

shows the closing parenthesis “)” as part of the link and when you double click it, the URL is not found. Debug info is as follows:

Notepad++ v7.4.1 (64-bit)
Build time : May 18 2017 - 02:02:28
Path : C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
Admin mode : OFF
Local Conf mode : OFF
OS : Windows 7 (64-bit)
Plugins : DSpellCheck.dll mimeTools.dll NppConverter.dll PluginManager.dll

Thanks,
