What version are you running?
1.0

What's the URL of the page this enhancement relates to, if any?
http://reviewboard.server.url/r/70/

Describe the enhancement and the motivation for it.
Our bug tracker has this pattern for urls: 
http://127.0.0.1/jira/browse/STOCK-8 
or 
http://127.0.0.1/jira/browse/CATALOG-8 

so I defined the url for the bug tracker in review board as
http://127.0.0.1/jira/browse/%s

When a description for a new review request is entered (containing 'Bug
CATALOG-8'), the tool does not detect it as being a reference to the bug
tracker issue. This does work if CATALOG-8 is entered in the Bugs field.

What operating system are you using? What browser?
N/A

Please provide any additional information below.

What error are you getting? This should be fixed (see issue 162)

No error, just the issue id not being linked to JIRA.
(I think issue 162 refers to the bugs field. I'm talking about the description field)
Thanks,

Based on the current pattern, you would need to write bug #CATALOG-8 to get a link.

Note that being too greedy may not help.  I'd hate to see "this bug happens too often" 
be converted in a link to http://127.0.0.1/jira/browse/happens  :)

Right. If it's non-numeric, you'll need to use '#'. We'll have too many other bug
reports otherwise :)
