the_title() in share links returning the title plus <br class="fee-title" />

[Caroline-Elisa]

Expected behaviour and actual behaviour

Using the_title() in share links, expecting to get only title. Link code:

<a href='https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?source=<?php the_permalink(); ?>&text=<?php the_title(); ?>:%20<?php the_permalink(); ?>' target='_blank' title='Tweet'>Tweet</a>

However when logged in to WP the_title() returns the page title plus <br class="fee-title" />
