The links do redirect to https, but I see that we show the URL as http. I think this issue should have been raised in the PR which introduced it though. I'll link it now.

The links do redirect to https, but I see that we show the URL as http.

You may have tried with popular websites like google, they won't allow 'http://' urls.

Try 'http://google.com' in browser it would get automatically redirected to 'https://' site.

Same happens in this case too.

I agree the link works as expected, but it's not showing the correct URL in the tooltip.

I think the PR fixed one case only. Posted more info in the original PR: #9471 (comment)

@Julesssss Just now verified everything looks good for me in staging.

Yep, I see the same thing now. Still not sure why it partially worked until now :/
