What issue do you have?

I was copying something into a note that had links, but it pasted into the note as simply underlined text. That seems like a bug in itself, but more importantly, after I selected that text and added the link to it, I could not Cntl-Click it to open it. I had to turn off Underline style to get it to work.

The first part sounds like this issue: @joplin/turndown - included <ins> rule is too broad, anchor links can be converted to <ins> instead of markdown links · Issue #13107 · laurent22/joplin · GitHub

the problem is that if the source html has inline css for "text-decoration: underline", the rich text editor converts it to <ins>link title</ins> instead of an actual link (if you toggle to the markdown editor to see the raw markdown, you'll likely see that this is what happened with these links)

Thank you for that reply. Yes, that appears to be what is happening, but I can’t confirm the source code, just the markdown and the rich text editor parts. Having said that, most users won’t have a clue about any of this and expect it to behave as expected. What I’m hearing you say is this isn’t a bug, but rather a design flaw.
