If a javascript snippet like this one:

javascript:var%20embeds%20=%20document.getElementsByTagName('embed');%20for%20(var%20i=0;%20i<embeds.length;%20++i)%20if%20(embeds[i].getAttribute('type')=='image/svg-xml')%20{%20embeds[i].setAttribute('type','image/svg+xml');%20var%20src%20=%20embeds[i].getAttribute('src');%20embeds[i].removeAttribute('src');%20embeds[i].setAttribute('src',%20src);%20}%20void(0);

is pasted, it is not transformed in a proper link, the last ); are missing. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. receive a javascript thingie like the one copied above in "Details"
2. try to "Copy link location" to copy the link and use it
3. 
Actual Results:  
the link gets copied but the two last characters are missing (they are not displayed of being part of the link)

Expected Results:
