Discourse encodes characters of fragments in pasted URLs.
E.g.
https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia
becomes
https://gitpod.io/#https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Feclipse-theia%2Ftheia

Let’s see
https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia
So you are only referring to oneboxed urls?

Ah, there are two links. I didn’t noticed. So, yes, only the link in the box is broken.
This appears to be fixed in https://github.com/discourse/onebox/pull/420
I’ve added the reported URL to #uri_encode specs.

Note: This still happens in Discourse version 2.4.0.beta9 (c15d702ae6):
In a Private Message, URLs like https://gitpod.io/#snapshot/abcd-1234 still get wrongly converted to https://gitpod.io/#snapshot%2Fabcd-1234
I notice that Discourse 2.4.0.beta10 is out now – may try to upgrade and see if that helps.
I just tried it in a PM and it worked.
