Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create a file:// link with an Umlaut (äöü) in path
  2. Right click on link & click on copy
  3. Paste link somewhere

Actual results:

Umlauts are encoded with URL encoding

Expected results:

No encoding. Link is copied as is.

Maybe a setting for controlling this behaviour would be good.
