[BUG] Any link in commit message causes "Invalid issue key"

[DidierLoiseau]

Describe the bug
With the “Check issue key reference” enabled in the settings, and patterns only matching our Jira keys in “Issue navigation”, it still somehow matches any link in the commit message, and expects it to match the branch name.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Write a commit message with a proper issue key and a link, e.g.

fix ■■■■■■-4048: blabla

See https://google.com

2. Try to commit
3. GitToolBox rejects it with “Invalid issue key”, indicating that the URL is not present in the branch name:

Expected behavior
URLs should not be considered as issue keys (at least, by default).

I'll look into it. Could you share the issue pattern you are using?

[DidierLoiseau]

I’m using the default Jira pattern, so [A-Z]+\-\d+, but actually it does not seem to matter because even without any pattern configured, the issue happens – it will just complain about the URL without detecting the actual issue key.
