Oh, I deal with bug reports daily, as I am a professional developer, and I can assure you, given common familiarity with the application, my description would've been quite enough.

However, let me make things clearer;
1) Open the Gnome Terminal; the default terminal emulation application in Ubuntu.
2) Type "echo http://bugs.launchpad.net". Hit "enter".
3) Right-click on the link, select "open link".

See how that works?

OK, now try this;
1) Once on the Gnome Terminal, type "echo sftp://some.server.with/files/in/it"
2) Place the pointer on top of the address - notice how the link's protocol is not entirely underlined; the terminal mistakes an SFTP link for an FTP one.

Please let me know if this is still not clear enough.
