855397 - Create anchored text of pasted url when using rich editor like IE.

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: DOM: Editor, enhancement, P5)

Description

[John A. Bilicki III]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:17.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/17.0
Build ID: 20130307074601

Steps to reproduce:

A client complained that when I switched her to Firefox that when she pasted links in AOL's mail that they were not being automatically linked.


Actual results:

When she pasted the text URL in the rich editor/AOL mail when using Firefox the browser did NOT "link" the text for her. She has to manually use the create-a-link button to do this.


Expected results:

Firefox should detect URLs (either prefixed as http:// or www) and link them (always with the http:// protocol unless it's explicitly a different protocol (e.g. ftp://).

She uses Windows 7 and was previously using IE10.

Bulk-downgrade of unassigned, >=5 years untouched DOM/Storage bugs' priority.

If you have reason to believe this is wrong (especially for the severity), please write a comment and ni :jstutte.
