Hyperlink pasting behavior

The link only works when the rich text includes formats other than the link itself.

That’s a good find, I’m not sure I’d noticed that.

And there was also a discussion about link formatting at the time

It might have been another topic I started, which is related but not the same:

Configuring the text chosen for pasted links

I’m a little confused about how Bike picks what text to show when I paste a link. For example, if I paste a link from Gmail, the text it shows is just the single character “0”. (I think it’s pulling this from the mail/u/0 path in the URL.) However, other times, I will get a full URL. What determines this behavior, and is it configurable? Is there any way to coax bike into pasting the full URL in cases where that’s what I’d prefer? (Didn’t see anything about this in the docs.)

Apparently I’m a big hyperlink user
