Copying URL without 'public_html'

When I copy a URL; for some reason 'public_html' is always included

example:

instead of http://www.mysite.com/mysubfolder the copied URL looks like this:
http://www.mysite.com/public_html/mysubfolder

The problem only exist for my main sites - when I connect to my addon domains, the URL is copied correctly.

I'm aware this must have something to do with the configuration settings,
but I can't seem to find the problem.

Can somebody please guide me to the solution?

Greetz!
