I’ve noticed similar ‘ghost’ issues with URLs on the site before. It almost sounds like a clipboard formatting error or a bug with how the site generates that specific link preview. Have you tried opening the link in an incognito window to see if it’s a browser cache thing, or does it happen across the board? Definitely worth flagging for the devs if it’s reproducible!
