Issue Summary
Enter a valid URL e.g. " http://www.microsoft.com." Click save. Get error message that says " '___http//www.microsoft.com' does not look like a valid URL" . The error message omits the ":" in the URL. Tried this with a number of different URLS. Used plain text also. Used the URL button on the editor. Nothing makes a difference. the editor automatically inserts paragraph tags, if that makes a difference.

The editor in wysig mode automatically inserts paragraph tags in the URL field. The work around we found was to switch to the plain text editor, eliminate the paragraph tags, and save. Somewhat cumbersome for novice users. This should be fixed.

I am getting this error too. I can certainly switch to plain text and remove the tags but users? They wouldn't have a clue what to do when they encounter this error.
Is there a way to set this to plain text for weblinks only? I have been searching through CKEditor but can't see how to do it. I tried Better Formats and set that content type to plain text but that doesn't work either. What am I missing?
