Description
The existing regex in function
detectLinkables
is unfortunately matches non-Latin characters if they are attached to the URL without a space. This behaviour leads to unexpected results, when dealing with Asian languages (e.g. can't open external links or userename).Because Asian languages are mostly has a grammatical elements, which are appended some character to the end of a noun without a space.
To solve this issue, I modified the previous regex to ensure URLs end with Latin alphabet characters or numbers. The updated regex is as follows:
This regex will help to correctly parse URLs in contexts with mixed language usage.
Thanks!
