Bug Description

If you look at https://edge.launchpad.net/launchpad-web you'll see that the link to https://launchpad.net/launchpad is linkified. If I move that URL from the summary to the description (or is it the other way around?) then it will no longer be linkified. There's no indication of this on the forms.

The summary is use in list presentations. It is not intended to support markup. We used linkify inconsistently with summary in the past that led to bug reports in many launchpad applications that the summary many links in a listing or on a source package page. The summary is intended to be a portable text that can be used anywhere.

Then the bug is that there is no way for the user to find out, short of actual experimentation.
