Description of the Issue

I was using v8.6.4 and had

xyzzy

I did a search/replace:
Search: ^xyzzy
Replace: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/

https://notepad-plus-plus.org/ appeared but it was not underlined and was not clickable. If you then scroll the page or make any changes then https://notepad-plus-plus.org/ gets underlined and is clickable.

With Notepad++ v8.6.2 and earlier the link was underlined immediately after the search/replace. A change related to v8.6.3 RC1 on out broke this.

The exact search/replace does not matter as long as it's one that creates a file:// or https?:// style string of text that is normally underlined and clickable.

The https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/25577/link-underlines-no-longer-auto-applied-on-search-replace forum thread has thoughts about what caused this change in behavior.
