## Message

```
editor: Don't treat scheme-prefixed text as a URL when pasting in Markdown (#59071)

Pasting text that merely starts with a scheme-like prefix (for example a
commit message like `editor: Fix crash in project panel`) over a
selection in a Markdown buffer would wrap the selection in a Markdown
link, because `url::Url::parse` accepts `editor:` as a valid URL scheme.

Paste now only treats clipboard text as a URL when the whole text is a
single standalone URL, using `linkify` (already a workspace dependency)
instead of `url::Url::parse`. Added a regression test covering the
scheme-like prefix case.

Release Notes:
