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


What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run post-review on a change that has in its description:
<http://example.com/> (which is the recommended form for URLs in plaintext)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Reviewboard generates a hyperlink equivalent to:
&lt;<a href="http://example.com/%3e">http://example.com/&gt;</a>;

That is, the trailing > is considered to be part of the hyperlink. 
Additionally, a trailing ; somehow got appended.

What operating system are you using? What browser?
Firefox 3.0.6 on Windows XP x64 SP2

Please provide any additional information below.

Huh, I can't reproduce this at all. Does this really happen for the example.com link?

I've assigned to you a review request that demonstrates this on the internal VMware
reviewboard server.
