URL Links with brackets are not processed correctly by input filter with "Web page addresses...turn into links automatically." [#1843260]

Greetings,

Just found out that the Wikipedia is using brackets in their links which get cut in Drupal nodes.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_(medical)

Result is.
Broken forward links.
Bad/difficult user experience.

I am getting this problem too.

Everything is fine if you write in the complete HTML link <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_(medical)">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_(medical)</a>
The problem occurs when you type in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_(medical) and have "Web page addresses and e-mail addresses turn into links automatically." for the input filter.
