Long URLs in markdown tables are split across lines and become unclickable #18394
Closed as not planned
Description
Problem
When a URL in a markdown table cell is longer than the column width, it gets split across multiple lines to fit. The split breaks the clickable link. Short URLs that fit in one line work fine.
Steps to reproduce
Have the assistant return a markdown table with long URLs:
Paste this into a new opencode session:
Return this exact markdown table, nothing else:
| Link | Description | Status |
|------|-------------|--------|
| [MCP servers #3653](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/pull/3653) | Fix missing trailing newline in JSONL output that breaks memory server when file is appended to by concurrent processes | Open, waiting for maintainer review |
| [Opencode #18394](https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/issues/18394) | Long URLs in markdown table cells get split across lines and become unclickable in the terminal | Open, filed today after tracing through OpenTUI rendering chain |
| [MCP servers #3286](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/pull/3286) | Add cross-process file locking to memory server using proper-lockfile to prevent race condition corruption | Open, addresses the root cause behind issue 2579 |
The short URL is clickable. The long URL is split across lines and not clickable.
Expected
Long URLs remain clickable even when the table column is too narrow to display them on one line. Either via OSC 8 wrapping the full URL across the line break, or by rendering URLs outside the table (footnote style).
Environment
- opencode v1.2.27
- @opentui/core 0.1.87
- iTerm2 3.6.8 (supports OSC 8)
Relevant upstream work
- feat(core): add OSC 8 hyperlink metadata to markdown links opentui#607: Added OSC 8 hyperlink metadata to markdown links
- feat(tree-sitter): detect URL scopes and set link property on text chunks opentui#737: Added tree-sitter URL scope detection
- Wrapped hyperlinks are broken charmbracelet/glamour#149: Same issue in Glamour ("Wrapped hyperlinks are broken")
- feat: improve link rendering in tables charmbracelet/glamour#401: Glamour's proposed fix was to render link URLs below the table as footnotes

I can confirm this bug. I am also missing the default concealment of the URL. That should be fixed by anomalyco/opentui#866 but then there would be another problem.
It seems as if currently the label of a markdown link is not clickable. If the concealment is fixed without fixing anomalyco/opentui#869 the link would become unreachable via

Related issue found: bare URLs in markdown (not just tables) are rendered as
url (url)due toMarkdownRenderablein@opentui/core.Root cause: The
"link"case inrenderInlineTokenunconditionally appends(href)whenconceal=true(the default). For bare/autolinked URLs, the link text equals the href, producing duplication likehttps://example.com (https://example.com).Fix: Skip the
(href)suffix whenlinkText === token.href. Filed upstream: anomalyco/opentui#1050This affects all bare URLs in rendered markdown, but is most visible in tables where column width is limited.
