[BUG] OSC8 hyperlink captures padding spaces in a table cell

[dandavison]

• I've checked docs and closed issues for possible solutions.
• I can't find my issue in the FAQ.

Hi, thanks for rich!

Describe the bug

It looks like the OSC8 hyperlinks are capturing padding spaces in table cell contents. It would be nice if the hyperlink applied to the text only, with padding outside the link:

from rich.console import Console
from rich.table import Table
from rich.text import Text

console = Console()

table = Table(show_header=False)
table.add_row("Key", "I am wide I am wide I am wide")
table.add_row("Key", Text("Value", style="link http://example.com"))
console.print(table)

screenshot uses Alacritty, with cmd held down and pointer over link:

What platform (Win/Linux/Mac) are you running on? What terminal software are you using?

MacOS

I may ask you to copy and paste the output of the following commands. It may save some time if you do it now.

If you're using Rich in a terminal:

uv run python -m rich.diagnose
uv pip freeze | grep rich

Thank you for your issue. Give us a little time to review it.

PS. You might want to check the FAQ if you haven't done so already.

I see that this alternative link syntax doesn't have the same problem:

table.add_row("Key", "[link=http://example.com]Value[/link]")

[willmcgugan]

This is the expected behavior. The style attribute will apply to the entire cell. If you want to apply a style to specific parts of the text you can use console markup, or Text.stylize

Great, thanks.
