[Bug]: automatic hyperlinking broken in 4.8.0?

[drmrbrewer]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

OS/Web Information

• Web Browser: Chrome
• Local OS: Windows
• Remote OS: Ubuntu 22.04
• Remote Architecture: x64
• code-server --version: 1.72.1 (that's the version of vscode I think? code-server version is 4.8.0... see screenshot below)

Steps to Reproduce

1. open code-server
2. open code file including URL in the comments
3. ctrl-click on the automatically-hyperlinked URL

Expected

Should open the linked page in a new page of the browser.

Actual

Nothing... except "Activating extensions..." indication in status bar at bottom:

This indication just disappears after a short time, but nothing else happens. Nothing in the browser console log either.

Logs

No response

No response

Does this issue happen in VS Code or GitHub Codespaces?

• I cannot reproduce this in VS Code.
• I cannot reproduce this in GitHub Codespaces.

Are you accessing code-server over HTTPS?

• I am using HTTPS.

Notes

This was working fine before... think it broke with the update to v4.8.0?

It is also broken (but was working before) for hyperlinks from URLs in the terminal window.

Can you try 4.8.1's release candidate? I'm guessing this is the same CSP error we have in 4.8.0

So to do that, and based on this issue, I use the normal install script but add --edge? Like so...

curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh -s -- --edge

I answered this myself by trying it :)

Yes, installing as per my previous post has indeed installed the release candidate version:

And yes, the hyperlinking issue I reported at the top is fixed by the release candidate!

LOL hey at least you're proactive! Thank you for confirming! I'll close for now and add to the 4.8.1 milestone.
