           Summary: Variable expansion causes problem when pasting URL
           Product: konversation
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general

When pasting URLs encoded in Korean language, they might contain escape sequences like %B or %C. For example, when a text "가나다라" is encoded in UTF-8, it provides sequence "%EA%B0%80%EB%82%98%EB%8B%A4%EB%9D%BC". However, due to variable expansion, some characters like %B and %C makes the link not clickable.
There is a workaround to turn off variable expansion. Then we lost bold and text color feature, and I have to turn on manually when I need to use it. I suggest that Konversation should use inserting control sequences, not variable expansions with %B or whatever. It is very annoying problem when I have to deal with Korean percent-encoded URL.
