Hyperlink url gets cut off
When creating a hyperlink by selecting text, the hyperlink gets cut off if the selection exceeds a certain number of characters – and the link ends up invalid.
Easy to reproduce, see attached video.
Version: InDesign 18.0

Glad to see someone else has this problem!! I just discovered it happening yesterday when pasting in a lengthy URL. The ending 7 or so characters were cut off. Took precious time for fiddling and trying different things and research and lots of thinking before I had the a sudden idea that just maybe the pasted URL was missing an end character in the panel field. When I investigated, saw not one but several characters were missing, then typed in the remaining characters, the hyperlink worked! Would really really appreciate this thing getting fixed. (Win 11; InDesign 18.5.4 -- because I don't like the new screen design)

Yes! It's only including the first 100 characters of a URL despite me having more selected when I click New Hyperlink.
