Feedback ยท Links don't handle brackets well (confirmed)

If I'm linking a URL that has a close bracket in it, the link syntax will break (for obvious reasons). Let's link to a picture on the wikipedia page for Orange (fruit):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_(fruit)#/media/File:Orange-Whole-%26-Split.jpg

In chat, this will break and the link will end at that first close bracket. Here in feedback apparently, where we're not yet using chat's markdown parser, it's fine: Orange (fruit) (en.wikipedia.org)

If I want this to work right now I have to replace that last ) with its escape character, %29.

There's various ways to handle this in markdown, but they all require the user to do something manually. Might be the easiest to just auto-escape links on paste.

Korra

Well like I mention, the parser here seems to handle it just fine in that post body without escaping! Let's see if it works ok here in comments (it doesn't in the preview): Orange (fruit) (en.wikipedia.org)
