[tomboy-list] Effect of Changing a Bugzilla Link

Hey all,

We have a crasher in bug #526179 that is reproducible.  If you are
using the Bugzilla Addin and change a bugzilla link, Tomboy crashes.

I'm not exactly sure what causes it, but I'm pretty sure that the
Bugzilla Addin doesn't really consider what action to take if you try
to edit a link within a note.  What do you guys think should happen?

1. Make Links Immutable - you can't edit a Bugzilla link at all once
it's pasted in, and if you hit "backspace" or "delete" on any portion
of it, the entire link goes away.  This honestly makes the most sense
to me.

2. Link text changes but the link stays the same - so you can paste in
a bug and then instead of having a number there, you could change the
number to meaningful text or something like that.  Deleting the whole
text of the link deletes the Bugzilla link.

3. ......  any other ideas?

-Jeff
