Issue 21: URLs in text fields are always treated as hyperlinks

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a text field in the options views of your gadget
2. Run the gadget outside the designer
3. Enter a URL as the value in the text field, e.g. http://www.google.com

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The value will "magically" turn into a hyperlink to the URL.
This behaviour is nice but there is no choice, can there be an option to
disable this automatic detection of URLs? Sometimes you do not want the
value to become a hyperlink, it makes editing of the field hard

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
5.7.0712.18632, Windows XP

Please provide any additional information below.
Workarounds by consuming the mousedown event don't help, as they prevent
the insert cursor appearing the in correct place in the field.
