One of our members dragged in a link from an URL which contains spaces. Those spaces were properly encoded into %20 in the link. However the link then doesn’t work. When I hover over the link I see the % has been encoded to %25, leaving the space hanging there as a 20. In fact I’ll drag that link …

When an url containing spaces is dragged in the % is encoded rather than the %20
