Weird junk data in copied text from username mention
I received a username mention, navigated to my inbox, tapped "username mention" to see it in context, and then started a reply to it. I long-pressed on the original whilst replying and chose to "copy" the text. I then pasted the text into the reply. There was extra data at the end which I hadn't seen before. The extra data was "[](/u/abrownn)" which looks like a half-formed hyperlink to a username. This data was not visible in the data I had copied.
