Given these findings we can conclude it will not be fixed in the foreseeable future and wish to be transparent about our priorities by closing it as Timed Out.

      Summary

      Ordinarily if you put a URL into any text field in a JIRA issue, the renderer will convert the URL into an actual hyperlink. If there are any non-latin characters, then this processing stops, and the URL only works up to that character. This affects any field.

      Here is a sample of the problem in various languages:

      See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalized_domain_name for details on IDN standards.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create an issue
      2. Insert a URL containing any non-latin character into any field
      3. Observe the link only goes up to the last alphanumeric character before the non-latin character

      Workaround

      This may work for the description field or any other that uses the wiki markup rendered:

      1. Enable the "html" module in the "Wiki Renderer Macros Plugin" plugin
      2. Use the html macro in the text area to manually create the link, for example: 
        {html}<a href="http://127.0.0.1/path/中国的">http://127.0.0.1/path/中国的</a>{html}
