Is there any way to disable webbrowser textarea path to url auto detection?
ex. When I input \\somelan\path\to the webbrowser component automatically insert <a href= in the text. 
Or when input \\somepath with space\ the webbrowser replace with <A href="file://\\somelan">\\somepath</a> with space\

What I have tried:

Not find how to disable this autocomplete.
