WWW.GOOGLE.COM isn't automatically converted to a link.

I can fix it to make the regex in Internal_AutoDetectURLs case insensitive, but looking at the regex, i doubt it is a good idea and it will probably break something else.

Thanks.

    Autodetecting URLs in all capitals could cause trouble elsewhere. URLs in general should not use capital letters in hostnames. However, the autodetector isn't completely stupid, and will accept some capital letters; the part that doesn't match is the .COM on the end; if you type in www.Google.com, you'll actually get a matched URL.

    I don't consider this a bug, so unless you can make a convincing case that it's needed, I'm going to close this report as WontFix.
