Description Robinson Tryon (qubit) 2012-07-25 15:21:47 UTC
On the Ask site one is able to refer to a user using @-syntax, e.g.

"I'll have to ask @qubit about this question."

The @-syntax does not appear to function in close proximity to parentheses, braces, brackets, etc. For example:

(@qubit will not be linked)
( This will not link to @qubit)
etc...

I've placed a sample/dummy Answer and Comment on the following Question on the Ask site to demonstrate the existing behavior:
http://ask.libreoffice.org/question/3593/how-do-i-report-a-bug-for-this-ask-site/

Expected Behavior:
@-syntax linking in most cases, except when it would interfere with specific existing syntax combinations, e.g. [link text](http://url-goes.here)
