I saw the same behaviour at www.flora.org (Linux/ncurses 1.99e):
highlited link became several characters less.
This affects the first page and only in partial mode,
seems because we call HText_trimHightext() twice on the same text.

(and no problem on DOS/DJGPP localhost when I test my patch, sorry.
this is a development version anyway...)
Our nearest future:

1) in HText_pageDisplay() we may run HText_trimHightext()
only after HText_beginInput() happen [=e.g. forms input present].
this is not best solution either. Will fix today.

2) fix HTML.c somewhere after HText_beginInput() [several places]
by including parts of HText_trimHightext() to hightext
_only_ those fields that are forms input in fact.
[I do not understand this code].
