Thread:Extension talk:WYSIWYG/MW v1.20.3: Adding HTTP links works OK, NEWS and FTP get broken and become internal links

Using MW v1.20.3 with the newest user patched version https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-aiZzKTmWI2bG8yVzBCOWNLamM/view.

When adding a link to "http://www.blah.org" everything works fine. When doing the same with "news://news.blubb.org" or "ftp://ftp.meh.org" first the dialogue mentions "external link... no search for it", which looks fine. But when saving or previewing (or just changing to the WikiTextEditor) the link goes to an internal page called "Ftp:ftp://ftp.blubb.com".

Even if you manually type text like ftp://ftp.blubb.com on a page with the WikiTextEditor, as soon as you change to the RichTextEditor it gets changed to ftp://ftp.blubb.com...

Any idea what is causing this and how to work around it?
