[~aurelien.pupier] I cannot replicate this. Whether I type or paste, the URL is validated and the decorator disappears for me, once the url is valid. 

I see usability issues though: 
* *Typing a url is unusable*: 
validation occurrs on each keystroke. It disables the whole dialog and displays a progress for ~1 second. Typing becomes: type a key, wait, type another key, wait, etc. You cant type continously. We should correct this via ex. delayed validating: Validating only happens once there are no keystrokes for a few seconds.
* *Error-decoration is not displayed for file-urls to point to inexistant files (404)*: 
Formally invalid urls cause a decorator to appear to the left of the text field. Once the url is formally valid, the error marker on the field disappears (https://raw.githubusercontent.c -> https://raw.githubusercontent.co) even if the url is still not valid ex. because it's 404. I believe that there's a switch in failing validator. The url validator is displaying the decorator while the validator that tries to load the file isnt

[~aurelien.pupier] can you point me to what I miss? (see my screencast - local-template-validation-weirdness.ogv)
