Internet Explorer links are incorrect in Renderer

[marke72]

I'm running Ubuntu Server 16.04 with v1.5.14 of the Debian package.

I am indexing a Windows share that is mounted to the Linux box. In Renderer when editing the default search page, under the Fields tab I changed the URL pattern for one of the fields to remove the beginning of the Linux path and replace it with the server's FQDN. When I view the path on Chrome it shows up how it should file://hostname.domain.com/fileshare/filename. But when I open up the page on Internet Explorer it shows the path as file:/hostname.domain.com/fileshare/filename. I'm not sure why it does that but it's missing a forward slash. What's even weirder is if I right click on the link and copy and paste it into the address bar it pastes as file:///hostname.domain.com/fileshare/filename with a three slashes.
Did I do something wrong or is this a bug? Thanks in advanced!
