Summary: Reference Field Appends '%2A%2A' on Manual Launch
Issue Type: cid:jira-generated-image-avatar-45ff2c95-4dd2-4084-ba60-dadc82ea4d7e Bug
Assignee: Unassigned
Created: 10/Dec/24 16:57
Priority: cid:jira-generated-image-static-major-cd8bc3da-1fa0-49a6-aedc-8e83ec7c290c Major
Reporter: Paul Pantiru
Description:

When a user adds a URL ending with ".com" in the reference field and attempts to launch it manually, the browser alters the URL by appending ** if the last character from the link is "/" at the end or %2A%2A for links that don't end in "/". This behavior causes navigation to an incorrect or invalid URL, leading to a poor user experience.

Expected Behavior: When a URL ending with ".com" is added to the reference field, launching it manually should open the URL exactly as entered, without additional characters appended.

Actual Behavior: The browser modifies the URL, appending %2A%2A, which results in an incorrect redirection or failure to load the intended page.

Steps to Reproduce: Open any page in the instance. Type in the CKEditor /redirect and open the macro GUI. Enter any URL (e.g., https://example.com) into the reference field. Save the entry and attempt to manually launch the URL by clicking or copying it into the browser. Result: The browser modifies the URL, displaying it as https://example.com%2A%2A instead of the original URL.
