413857 - URL in the address bar broken when it contains commas

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 412458

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Frédéric Buclin]

First display this list of bugs with the REOPENED status (to keep the list short):

 http://landfill.bugzilla.org/qa30pg/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=REOP

Then click the "Status" column header to sort the list based on the bug status.

Results:

With Firefox 2.0.0.11 and Opera 9.25, the URL ends with:

 order=bugs.bug_status%2Cbugs.bug_id where %2C is the comma separating fields.

With Firefox 3 beta 3pre (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr; rv:1.9b3pre) Gecko/2008012004 Minefield/3.0b3pre), the URL ends with:

 order=bugs.bug_status%252Cbugs.bug_id where %25C is something weird which makes Bugzilla to reject the URL if you click in the address bar and click "Return" to run the query again.

No idea what %25C is, but it looks definitely wrong. This makes URL being invalid and cannot be saved for future use. So requesting blocking for Beta 3!
