What version are you running?
1.5 RC1

What's the URL of the page containing the problem?


What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Add a URL in an RB description or reply
2. The URL will automatically become a hyperlink.
3. The hyperlink will include characters at the end that should be excluded, such as an end parenthesis or period.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected output would be that end parenthesis and periods are left out of hyperlinks. Instead, they are integrated into hyperlinks.

What operating system are you using? What browser?
Linux/Windows, FF/IE/Chrome

Please provide any additional information below.
e.g. "See more here: http://www.google.com/mail." I would expect the period at the end not to be part of the link; however, it is, making the link a 404. This forces users to add spaces before periods, etc., unnecessarily.
