Gnote crashes while adding new lines before a web hyperlink

Binary package hint: gnote

When I add newline characters before a web hyperlink, gnote crashes. See screencast for more details.

Gnote version 0.6.2,

Looks like it's a known bug ( https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=632797 ) and this issue was initially fixed in November 2009 in gnote 0.6.3.

Canonical somehow managed not to update the gnote package in Ubuntu 10.04.

Fixed in gnote 0.7.5-1 (oneiric).
