Comment:

 Since the bug on the ticket is different then the bug fixed by the patch,
 should the patch be moved to a new ticket?

 This ticket itself sounds like either invalid or enhancement. The
 enhancement would be to attempt to do like Chrome (too problematic by
 itself), a UI enhancement, or both.

 A line of text showing the calculated url, marked up perhaps where the
 entered data is in bold/dark and the rest in grey. Immediate feedback on
 the error would then be made apparent.

 Also, a check box to distinguish external links from relative, in which
 (now knowing user intent) would make the Chrome-like (assumed protocol)
 enhancement possible.

 '''Recommendation''': Move the patch to a new ticket (or just committing
 it), and marking this one as a UI enhancement.
