urls in ubuntu-bug's dialog not really clickable

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

The problem is in apport-gtk, in the _ui_message_dialog() method that finds URLs in free text and turns them into clickable links: https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu/focal/apport/ubuntu/view/head:/gtk/apport-gtk#L389. The regular expression isn't good enough.

adding more information to the bug it doesn't work with email links also

This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.20.11-0ubuntu33

---------------
apport (2.20.11-0ubuntu33) groovy; urgency=medium
