Rich-text editor splits URLs at the question mark, creating nonfunctional hyperlinks

Frappe Framework Bug
,
1

I am experiencing an issue in ERPNext/Frappe v15 where URLs containing query parameters are incorrectly converted into divided hyperlinks by rich-text editor fields.

Environment

  • Frappe Framework: v15.101.5

  • ERPNext: v15.100.1

  • Browser: Google Chrome 150.0.7871.187, 64-bit

  • Operating system: Windows 10

Example URL

The issue can be reproduced using this nonfunctional example URL:

https://example.com?invid=TEST123456

Actual behavior

When the URL is pasted into a rich-text editor field, only the portion before the question mark becomes part of the hyperlink:

https://example.com

The following portion is displayed as plain text immediately after the hyperlink:

?invid=TEST123456

The result appears visually as one continuous URL, but the actual hyperlink points only to:

https://example.com

The query parameter is excluded from the hyperlink.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open any ERPNext or Frappe field that uses the rich-text editor.

  2. Paste the following URL:

https://example.com?invid=TEST123456

  1. Observe that only https://example.com becomes a hyperlink.

  2. The text ?invid=TEST123456 remains outside the hyperlink.

The same behavior occurs when using Paste as plain text:

  1. Paste the URL as plain text into the rich-text editor.

  2. Initially, the entire URL remains plain text.

  3. Press the Return or Enter key.

  4. The editor automatically converts the URL into a hyperlink.

  5. The hyperlink is again divided at the question mark.

Email Template behavior

The problem is not limited to URLs manually pasted into an outgoing email.

When an Email Template inserts a URL containing a query parameter, the generated email also contains the divided hyperlink.

If the email is sent from ERPNext, the divided hyperlink remains incorrect and nonfunctional for the recipient. Only the portion before the question mark is clickable.

Expected behavior

The rich-text editor should recognize the entire URL, including its query string, as one hyperlink:

https://example.com?invid=TEST123456

The hyperlink destination should include:

?invid=TEST123456

Additional information

The same URL is converted correctly when pasted into Microsoft Word or Gmail.

This issue affects payment links and potentially any URL that depends on query parameters. In our case, the omitted query parameter identifies the specific payment request, so excluding it makes the resulting hyperlink unusable.

Has anyone else encountered this behavior in Frappe or ERPNext v15? Is this a known rich-text editor issue, or is there a configuration or sanitization setting that controls URL detection?
