Notifications with a link put entire URL in ()

[Patrick Haverkamp]

This makes notifications to 'busy' For example a notice from <email address hidden> will reference user (ursersidenticaurl) @user2 (user2'sidenti.ca url). This adds to much information, especially considering the duration of the notice.

Let me add some extra details to make the bug clear:

Notify-OSD via pidgin, for identica im bot (<email address hidden>) parses the users profile link, and shows it on the bubble, without any extra advange.
It should be smart enough to just strip that HTML content

Are you talking about the summary-text (title) or the body-text? With regards to links placed in a bubble's body-text, we provide guidlines for apps to not do that (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotificationDevelopmentGuidelines, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotificationDesignGuidelines), since a user cannot click on them due to the "click-through" feature of notify-osd. Furthermore I suggest to file this against pidgin-libnotify (https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin-libnotify) rather than notify-osd, since that's the application/plugin actually triggering the notification in the first place.

Please see screenshot --this is the body-text -- I dont know if that is notify-osd or pidgin-libnotify

Mirco the URLs appear in the body.

Thanks Seb128 for updating this.
