When using External links in Visual editor in JIRA, can a copied hyperlink be pasted in the URL section (i.e. the 'http://example.com') or can it only be an URL address?
External Link (Visual editor)
[link title|http://example.com]
When copying a hyperlink (ex. 'Google' where google is 'http://www.google.ca'), if we paste it into the External Link URL section, instead of getting a link 'title' with URL google, we get markup with link address.
My External Search Engine Link (with Google hyperlink)
[My External Search Engine Link|[http://www.google.ca]]
Should the Visual editor strip off the extra '[' and ']' from the hyperlink so that the new External link is "My External Search Engine Link"?
Is this a bug or expected behavior? I understand that there are issues pasting URL addresses into External Link URL sections: JIRASERVER-67774
