AdBlock Plus preventing URL formatting

Post by listen4guidance »

I am running Google Chrome (60.0.3112.113) on a Mac (OS 10.9.5). Prior to installing AdBlock Plus, whenever I would copy a URL and paste it into the body text of my email, the URL would automatically format (turn blue, with underline) and be made active. Immediately after installing AdBlock Plus (version 1.13.3) this feature stopped working. The URL pastes in as plain text and is not active. Only by selecting the URL and hitting the hyperlink icon (or using command-k) can I activate the link. Disabling, and even uninstalling AdBlock did not restore this functionality. It doesn't seem like a big deal, but these extra actions are harmful to my productivity. How do I get the URL formatting functionality to work again?

Are you talking about gmail ? Be sure you turn OFF "plain text" and use "rich text"

Rich text is on, and it happens in any web-based mail I try - gmail, yahoo, etc.
