Some terminal applications, like mutt and weechat, prints a newline at the end of each line even if text is wrapped. This causes urls which are wrapped to not be selectable in full. By ignoring newlines when the text fills the entire width of the screen, those urls can be selected. Many other terminal emulators do this as well. A drawback of this is that if a url happens to fill the width of the screen, the url selection will include the first word of the next line, but this doesn't happen that often so I think it's an okay tradeoff. Fixes termux#313

I love the feature that allows to copy urls but I noticed that if an url is spanning on multiple lines (in weechat for example), termux only copy the first line.
I don't know if this really is a bug as there might not be any way to tell where the end of the url is.
