The sigsum project uses etherpad v2.7.3, hosted at https://pad.sigsum.org/.
At some point (quite a while ago), the behavior for URL wrapping changed. The current behavior is:
- Don't wrap URLs, let them overflow to the right
And in particular, this leads to the following behaviors:
"- <long link>" -> akward line with "- " + new line + <long link> that overflows on this separate line. The oddly looking part here is that there's basically an empty line "- " and then a separate overflowing line."- some text <long link> some more text", and then go back and add more words after "some text " -> buggy rendering (and esp. very buggy feeling when typing).
I show these two issues in the following pad, including step-by-step instructions on how to try case (2).

I'm not entirely sure when long URLs stopped being wrapped, perhaps in #5001. FWIW I can't remember having difficulties clicking wrapped links in the older versions of etherpad. I also think it is a lot better that it's possible to see the entire link, to not encourage clicking things without knowing exactly what is being clicked.
Suggestion:
- Bring back wrapping of long URLs, or at least make this configurable (or is it configurable and we just haven't found the knob for this?)
