You can also access the "Column Tools" dialogue from the report view btw - just select the column you want to change from the data-pane.

Based on your image (which I didn’t see when I first reaponded) there seems to be either a space or linebreak in your url, as "google.com" seems to be correctly interpreted as an URL
