Description Roger W Haworth 2008-08-12 18:00:54 UTC 
Created attachment 5171 [details]
Two items selected from an RSS feed

When the RSS feed engine for new pages generates a link, it is falsely terminating the link before a dot or ) char. In the attached example the link is thus:

    <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/(S.U.E">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/(S.U.E</a>.)Stack%27s_Up_Entertianment</p>

when it should have been:

    "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/(S.U.E.)Stack's_Up_Entertianment."

The software has been showing this bug on titles with a dot on the end for some time. More recently it has been screwing upo on ) as well.

It looks like this is actually your feed reader software incorrectly generating a link out of the value of the feed's <link> element. I'd recommend reporting this upstream -- is it Opera?
