Hyperlinks in Notes

Hi all,
I’ve found an issue when copying Hyperlinks into notes.
I’ve been trying to add Google streetmap view of houses where people lived, which are obviously quite a long hyperlink etc. This then links up nicely to the Census notes etc.
The issue…
Opening a note and then copying a long hyperlink is no issue and the hyperlink works whilst still in the note, but if you then come out of that note and then go back in, the hyperlink has been cut down, by the looks of it, to max 68 characters - this stops the hyperlink working correct.
Is this a limitation of notes ? or have I been lucky and found a bug lol
Thanks

This is the screenshot of the issue. The top one is after pasting and then coming out of note before going back in. The second is after pasting and not exiting the note.

At Google Maps you want to click the three vertical dots menu and choose Share or embed image. That will result in a valid link to the image when Ctrl-clicked.

The full Google Maps browser link includes hocus pocus web code to reproduce the special legend banner that reads 187 B1450 …ETC.
