(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[deratomkeks]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_6) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/12.0.1 Safari/605.1.15

Steps to reproduce:

Receiving e-mails with hyperlinks containing an exclamation markt (plain text as well as inside html buttons)



Actual results:

The exclamation mark gets percent-encoded, no matter if it's a hyperlink url, plain text or hyperlink inside a html button.

Example:
https://test.abc.de/#!/action/5bf7bf
becomes
https://test.abc.de/#%21/action/5bf7bf


Expected results:

The url should not be modified

Hmm, sorry about the delay here. I've pasted https://test.abc.de/#!/action/5bf7bf into an e-mail and saved the draft. In the drafts folder I looked at the message and didn't see any percent encoding for the ! in the link.

So how do I reproduce this? Can you supply a sample message (save as .eml file, remove personal information in an editor, attach here "attach file"). BTW, which version of TB are you using?

Sorry for the delay. We were sure to have the most recent version installed, but after reinstall the problem could not be reproduced.
