  2. Open preview mode
  3. Click on rendered link

Environment

Mobile

@WizardNo7
Did you put url without http:// or https://? I confirmed urls without the protocols causing the crash. If there are more cases causing the crash than this, please let me know.
Anyway, I'll try to fix the case, using urls without the protocol prefixing.

Hey @Rokt33r , good catch.

It was in fact when not specifiying the protocol, only gooogle.com or www.google.com that was the issue.

Cannot reproduce the issue in the new mobile app. But I don't think the mobile app is covering every case. So if anyone notices that a similar problem happens again, please create a new issue.
