137113 - Bookmarks contain "%20" instead of spaces

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[davidb]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020311
BuildID:    2002031104

Bookmarks created with "Add Bookmark" or imported from IE Favorites contain
"%20" instead of spaces.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a web page with a space in the title.
2. Create a bookmark.
3. Look at the bookmarks menu.

Actual Results:  Bookmark was created with "%20" replacing spaces in the name. 
For example, a page called "Web Monitoring" had a bookmark created called
"Web%20Monitoring".  If the bookmark is renamed it's okay after that.

Expected Results:  Created a bookmark with proper spaces from the start.

In build 2002041408 it seems to work like this:

If I type in a page and bookmark it, it now works fine.
 
If I open one of my imported IE bookmarks (which still have %20's in
them), the title appears okay in the title bar, but when I bookmark it the
new bookmark has %20's in it as well.

David, are you starting with a clean profile?  If your bookmark list already has
%20s in it, a newer build will not overwrite them.

Comment 7

[davidb]

Okay, that works.

What was confusing me was that opening a page from a %20'd bookmark would
'poison' any new bookmarks made from that page.  It's not obvious to me why that
should be true.
