The double-click handler doesn't have any special code to recognise URLs. It uses the "Select-by-word" profie option, so you could add : to that, but you may need to add further characters for some other URLs. To get proper URL recognition you have to either ctrl-single-click to open it in a browser or right-click and use the Open... or Copy... menu items. I think it would be a good idea to have double-click select the whole URL in a future version though, so I'll keep this bug open but change the priority. > I also noticed that when the mouse is over the server name, only > "http://bugs.debian.org"; is underlined and if the mouse is over the > right part of the URL, the full URL is properly underlined. > > It is fine for me if it is the intended behaviour, as long that what gets > underlined is also what would get selected after a double-clic.
