What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Search on Google with multi bytes characters.
2. Click any links on search results.
3.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Human readable words are expected, but URL-encoded words appear for multi bytes
characters in search box.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.4.0 on Firefox 7.0.1 Windows 7
Please provide any additional information below.
The search results of Google are linked to their redirecting URL, which is
"http://www.google.com/url?(some parameters)&q=(double URL-encoded search
words)". Somehow Google encodes search words twice. SearchBox Sync tries to
sync with them and decode once. As a result, URL-encoded words appear.
This issue did not happen until couple of days ago. It looks Google changed
their behavior.
ASCII characters are not affected because they are out of scope of
URL-encoding. It might be hard for people using English to notice this issue,
so I would like to give you a heads-up as a multi bytes language user.
