Links in Comments are not always as expected

bug
retag add tags

A user posted a correct link in the comments let's say www.mysite.com and it also looks like www.mysite.com, but when you click on it you get this link http://www.mysite.com%3c/p%3E which is a wrong link. I tried to edit the link but it was posted correct by the user. Askbot has changed the link into the wrong one. It seems to be not always the case it appears somehow randomly.

Update:

The problem is still there: links in comments get an extra <p>, when placed at the end of the comment. so the links become wrong..

Are there some solutions? It is an very annoying bug for site visitirs and users.

I confirm this, this happen when you insert the link at the end of your comment text, not tested a lot but it looks like when the JS convert the text to URL.
