I swear I copied a URL from an address bar one time and I noticed it was percent encoded on the clipboard when the text in the box wasn’t. It was showing me something easy to read, but when I was going to use that URL for something else it was properly encoded so it wouldn’t cause exactly this type of problem.

@mckinley@twtxt.net Oh yes, back in the days, Firefox did percent-encode on copy. I remember that I was positively surprised about that cool feature. Not sure when they ripped it out. :-(

@mckinley@twtxt.net This is precisely the problem: Chrome copies the URL incorrectly – I wonder what other browsers do this wrong? 🤔
