Unable to add a link

[Dilip Srinivasan]

Was trying to add a link on a confluence page:

"http://....=(FSM_STEP3%20eq%20%22yes%22)". Have not mentioned the full link to maintain the confidentiality. However the concern I would like to raise is the last part to the link. 

After pasting the link and pressing "Insert", the link seems to get altered automatically in the following manner:

"http://....=(FSM_STEP3%2520eq%2520%2522yes%2522)".

Why does "25" get appended after each "%" to the above link?? How do I avoid it?

Please advise.

Hello Dilip! Well, it seems we just hit a know bug in Confluence 6:

CONFSERVER-45966

The bug was fixed in a later version, 6.2.1. When inserting the % symbol, it gets re-encoded to %25 and renders your link unusable.
As a workaround (described in the bug report) is to directly insert the link into the editor.

Let us know if this helps your case!
