Pasting URLs in Atlassian > Microsoft Edge tries to be useful

[lisa sinclair]

Edit: So this turns out to be a Microsoft Edge issue. After the latest invisible update, the browser defaults to "Link" which is a named link, rather than your standard URL.

Settings to fix are in ... >Settings > Share, copy & paste > Plain text.

I've noticed recently that URLs are being automatically rewritten in Confluence

A URL with http://site.name.com is being rewritten as pagetitle - knowledgebase title - confluence (atlassian.net).

This necessitates me to click the link to convert it to another form (in my case "Display as link" because I've got 150 other pages with this form).
