Can you describe that a bit more in depth? I don't really know what exactly you mean. Screenshots might help. :)

In fact I see now this is with regard to serendipity_event_trackback.php. It doesn't seem to check whether a URI is in the list before adding it to that text input field.

I mean that if I check trackbacks in a blog entry and then publish, the link it finds in the entry is put into the text field under the checkbox. I assume that is expected behaviour. But publishing again adds the same link to the field, concatenates it so you have

http://link1;http://link1;http://link1

I just realized that this must be because of the other error I'm having (URI not found) problem. If the automaic trackback detection fails, the string is concatenated.

Ok, it seems I was using the wrong link and when this URI error happens, the link keeps being added in the plugin. Sorry, my fault (again)

Thanks a lot for digging deeper to this and finding the error. I'll try to see if I can modify the plugin to skip invalid URLs...
