Description:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/65772 The URL highlighting feature of mate-terminal breaks after updating vte3 from 0.58.3-1 to 0.60.0-1. VTE 0.60 removed the implementation for vte_terminal_match_add_gregex, which has been deprecated since VTE 0.46. https://developer.gnome.org/vte/unstable/VteTerminal.html#vte-terminal-match-add-gregex Additional info: * vte 0.60.0-1 * mate-terminal 1.24.0-1 (latest) or 1.22.1-1 (previous). This issue also affects lxterminal, tilda and terminator. Steps to reproduce: * Run mate-terminal * Go to Edit -> Profile Preferences and ensure the option "Highlight URLs under mouse pointer" is enabled * type https://bugs.archlinux.org and see that it is not highlighted when hovered with the mouse pointer |

I'm not a developer on the project so I'm not going to opine about whether or not I think a point release is warranted. However, the broken functionality is something a lot of people rely on. If upstream isn't going to make a point release, then unless Arch ships a release with this patch its users are stuck with a mate-terminal that doesn't have a really widely used piece of functionality for approximately a year, which is the MATE major release cadence.
I am happy to help out in any additional way I can, please just let me know.
I have attached a third PKGBUILD that applies both patches. It also bumps pkgrel to 3. I have confirmed that both URL highlighting and search are working on the build that results from this PKDBUILD file. @cesura if you could please double check to make sure I'm not crazy and then push this into the repos we'd appreciate it. Thanks!
Thanks
