Why are URLs broken when pasted on this site

When posting a question or answer, I often like to be able to paste in a URL to direct the reader to further information. On the old Answers site, this would automatically link to the desired URL when I clicked on it, but not it doesn't. Is there a workaround?

1	This is a known issue. As a workaround, you can use the link widget in the editor window to link to a URL, as I do here. link answered 15 Apr '11, 09:43 John Mark 421●1●1●11 accept rate: 26% html coding of <a href="urlname">Linktext</a> also works. (15 Apr '11, 10:29) Jason
