Updates to bug 2 after Apr 2020 code push

[jesse_the_k]

The @ shortcut explodes when a period follows the username.sitename

If @username.sitename appears at the end of a sentence, like

input: The best bug hunter is @punk.ao3.

Dreamwidth fails to expand, showing the error message [ bad username or site: punk @ AO3 ] and swallowing the period. Like this:

unescaped text, throws error that includes the period: The best bug hunter is punk.

(I formatted the input sample by surrounding the at-sign with backticks.)

Current workaround:

only the period is escaped inside backticks: the best bug hunter is punk.

Prepush workaround was to add backslash before period, which no longer works

the period is escaped by a backslash: the best bug hunter is punk.

---

When the full TLD is included, user head displays correctly BUT it still swallows the period.

The best bug hunter is punk.

Also known as actually punk.

That would be runpunkrun.

Used to be runpunkrun.

Other contacting punctuation doesn't trigger the bug

updated bug 2, HTML version

[jesse_the_k]

The @ shortcut explodes when a period follows the username.sitename

If @username.sitename appears at the end of a sentence, like

> input: The best bug hunter is @punk.ao3.

Dreamwidth throws error message [ bad username or site: punk @ AO3. ] which includes the final period. Like this:

> The best bug hunter is punk.


Possible workarounds for HTML:

- precede the period with a zero-width-space character ref: the best bug hunter is punk.

- replace the period with the period character ref: the best bug hunter is punk.

- give up and use the old HTML format: <user name=runpunkrun> runpunkrun

Pre-push workaround was to add backslash before period, which no longer works

> the period is escaped by a backslash: the best bug hunter is punk\.
