The problem here is the caret, i.e. the "^" symbol. The problem is that "^" is not a valid html symbol, and is deemed unsafe. This is not really a bug.

Look's like whatever comes after the /input/... is causing an error. For some reason it can't embed the link because of it. Changing formats for links doesn't help either. |
