*Feedback - prefect version 2.10.20/python 3.11.4*
Hi, apologies if this isn't the right place but i couldn't find a feedback channel.

I'm noticing that URL's printed to terminal have artificial line breaks which breaks the ability to click the links. For example, when creating a deployment or registering some blocks, this is what it's showing. When you follow the link it loads a broken page. I've tested against other terminal windows and also resizing windows but same issue. Long URLs break correctly for other tools i use.

Are you sure this is not simply your window doing soft wrapping?

There are no newlines in the URL in the prefect cli code..

What terminal app are you using? Is this `<http://iTerm2.app|iTerm2.app>`  by any chance?

Thanks for the link! yea it's odd, no soft wrap and other tools work just fine. I'll dig in more to see if something else has changed with an OS or software update. Thanks for the response

Yea, I can reproduce this in `<http://iTerm2.app|iTerm2.app>` and `<http://VSCode.app|VSCode.app> (terminal)`

Looks like a common issue with terminals :s here is issue for VSCode <https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/28746>

interesting, and it's not every URL which is what made me suspect, look at this and it works fine:

Here is the code for the `deployment run` print <https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/79e2bd6159106d2e23711b41c6fea88626c5f9ca/src/prefect/cli/deployment.py#L623>

Looks sort of normal.. it does seem odd that it works one way and not the other

thanks for looking at this though, it is very odd depending on the format of the output. Oh well, thanks for the links and info. I primarily use vscode so i'll follow that issue linked above

I can not reproduce this with simple print in python.

I'm thinking this is something Prefect's `RichTextIO` class adds to the output that breaks the terminal in detecting urls properly :shrug:

I managed to reproduce this with <https://rich.readthedocs.io/en/stable/markup.html#console-markup>

Prefect logger uses this to make the log output fancy i.e. colours and what not..

```mkdir -p tmp/prefect_rich_experiment &amp;&amp; $_

python3 -m venv venv &amp;&amp; source venv/bin/activate

pip install prefect

python```
this works fine
```PREFECT_UI_URL = "<https://app.prefect.cloud/account/7faa0570-20e6-11ee-be56-0242ac120002/workspace/7faa0570-20e6-11ee-be56-0242ac120002>"
deployment_id = "7faa0570-20e6-11ee-be56-0242ac120002"

print(
    "View Deployment in UI:"
    f" {PREFECT_UI_URL}/deployments/deployment/{deployment_id}"
)```
this does not..

```from rich import print


PREFECT_UI_URL = "<https://app.prefect.cloud/account/7faa0570-20e6-11ee-be56-0242ac120002/workspace/7faa0570-20e6-11ee-be56-0242ac120002>"
deployment_id = "7faa0570-20e6-11ee-be56-0242ac120002"

print(
    "View Deployment in UI:"
    f" {PREFECT_UI_URL}/deployments/deployment/{deployment_id}"
)```

fair to say this is a problem with upstream dep :confused:
