Why aren't links clickable any more

When people post links in their post they don't seem to be clickable anymore ie they are just plain text - or is it just me?

It's a recognised quirk of the new editor, discussed here:

A quick workaround is to hit return or space after typing/pasting the text, and this makes it clickable….

Thanks for that - obviously a lot of people don't know that as the forums are full of non clickable links now.

Oh well, I don't want to stand in the way of progress!

For me (Firefox on Linux), double clicking on the url selects it, then right click and "open link in new tab". Don't know if anything similar exists on phones. It's not as easy as simply clicking a link, but it's not difficult.
