Inaccurate link detection

1

Delta Chat now detects links in messages, but it sometimes detects text as a link when it should not be a link, and sometimes it does not detect text as a link when it should be a link. For example the number 3.141592653 will be displayed in a message as a link to be clicked, which is nonsensical, whereas a URI such as dcaccount: is not displayed as a link to be clicked.

Expected behavior

Links are detected accurately

Actual behavior

Links are not detected accurately

yeah the linkifying of numbers is nonsensical and annoying, the system linkifier is used tho, so it is not the fault of Delta Chat

Note that Delta Chat uses a different linkifier library and algorithm on each platform exhibiting different edge cases for false negatives and positives. Some may already consider that as a bug by itself.
