Error when opening encoded URL or URL that contains spaces

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open a web site/page/url that contains at least one space.  For example:
https://my.host.com/wikis/home?lang=en#/wiki/Wd30111bebc53_4aaa_98c0_3d320a25f5c
b/page/Education Sessions
(Notice the space in "Education Sessions".)
2. Select and Copy the URL from the browser
3. Paste the URL into a Keynote note
4. Open the link from Keynote

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The result is the URL is pasted with the space(s) URL encoded as expected: 
https://my.host.com/wikis/home?lang=en#/wiki/Wd30111bebc53_4aaa_98c0_3d320a25f5c
b/page/Education%20Sessions

However, when opening the URL, the page is not found because the URL opened is:
https://my.host.com/wikis/home?lang=en#/wiki/Wd30111bebc53_4aaa_98c0_3d320a25f5c
b/page/Education%2520Sessions

Would expect that the correct URL can be opened from Keynote.

What version are you using? On what operating system?
Keynote 1.7.9.3 Beta3 on Windows XP sp3.

Please provide any additional information below.
Similar behavior occurs if using the Insert->URL option and pasting the link 
into this dialog.

This also doesn't work well if using Insert->URL and manually changing "%20" to 
<space> - UNLESS alternate Text value is given for the link.  If Text is not 
given, then another, previously reported bug occurs due to "<>" chars 
surrounding the URL - where by every time the note is saved more "<>" chars are 
added to the link:
<https://w3-connections.ibm.com/wikis/home?lang=en#/wiki/Wd30111bebc53_4aaa_98c0
_3d320a25f5cb/page/Education Sessions>

I have just released a new version of KeyNote NF: 1.7.9 Beta 4

Could you verify and confirm if the issues are correctly resolved?
Thanks
Daniel

URLs containing spaces encoded as %20 now open just fine - thanks!  Haven't 
tested with any other special chars tho.

Daniel, I think I found a *big* regression (problem) with Beta 4 tho...  When 
using the Find (Search all notes) option from resource panel, it's no longer 
finding all instances of a keyword or phrase that I give.  (For example, "high 
sev" or "updateinstaller".)  Using Beta 3 works fine tho.  Because of this, I 
have to revert back to using Beta 3.  Hopefully you can fix this!  

Thx,
- Rick

Hi, are you sure you haven't checked inadvertently some options as Match case 
or Whole words only or something similar? I don't encounter that problem.
Please, include the answer to this question in the correct issue. If efectively 
the error persists for you, please, attach a very, very simple file, your .ini 
file and the detail the search and options you are trying.

Thanks

Hi, yes, I'm sure it's not an issue of the search options.  Sorry, I tried to 
create a small sample notes file to reproduce the problem, but that didn't 
work.  

I opened issue 456 tho to track this formally.  I'm seeing it very repeatablly 
for 2 different large notes files I use.
