jesse_the_k: Lucy the ACD's butt & tail are all that's visible since her head is down a gopher hole (LUCY gopher hunter)

Updates to bug 2 after Apr 2020 code push

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 [archiveofourown.org profile] 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 [archiveofourown.org profile] 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 [archiveofourown.org profile] punk.


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

The best bug hunter is [archiveofourown.org profile] punk.

Also known as actually [archiveofourown.org profile] punk.

That would be [twitter.com profile] runpunkrun.

Used to be [github.com profile] runpunkrun.

Other contacting punctuation doesn't trigger the bug

Why do you read [twitter.com profile] jesse_the_k? Never read [ao3.org--she profile] jesse_the_k's terrible. She never tweets at [twitter.com profile] jesse_the_k!
