Bug Description
If I:
1. point my browser to twitter.com and select a random tweet.
2. And then from the Drop Down menu, select: "Copy Link to Tweet."
3. And then paste that link into a gmail composition
Then the link will not show up, although it is there.
It's almost as if it is pasted as white text on white background?
With the difference that even when selecting it, it still doesn't show.
The only way to make it show up, is change your gmail composition mode to 'Plain text mode.'
Once you do that, you see that the link is actually there.
I expected, instead, to have the link visible after pasting it into gmail.
Note: same issue happens if I use Chromium browser instead.

is this still an issue now that Firefox 65.0.1 is the currently supported release? Is Chromium still affected too? Did/does this affect links from other websites or just Twitter?
