6307	IE: Option to disable automatic creation of links	Alfonso Martínez de Lizarrondo		"In IE when the user types something that looks like an url or mail it's automatically converted to a link. Sometimes is useful and it has been requested that this feature is available also in other browsers #302

But it's also a source of problems and other people prefer to not have this option enabled and now it will be possible with IE9: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ieinternals/archive/2010/09/15/IE9-Beta-Minor-Change-List.aspx
{{{
document.execCommand(""AutoUrlDetect"", false, false) 
}}}

My proposal is to introduce a new config setting similar to the ones for Firefox to disable object resizing or table editing, and by default make it behave like other browsers. After all, it should be possible to watch the keyboard and do the autodetection ourselves with a plugin and it will work the same way in all the browsers and we could tune it because previously it was detecting too many things for some users.

Also it's important to test it before the final IE9 is released in order to detect any bug with the new option at their side."	New Feature	confirmed	Normal		General			IE	satya_minnekanti@…
