Description Shinjo Park 2007-05-29 10:27:00 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When pasting URLs encoded in Korean language, they might contain escape sequences like %B or %C. For example, when a text "가나다라" is encoded in UTF-8, it provides sequence "%EA%B0%80%EB%82%98%EB%8B%A4%EB%9D%BC". However, due to variable expansion, some characters like %B and %C makes the link not clickable.
There is a workaround to turn off variable expansion. Then we lost bold and text color feature, and I have to turn on manually when I need to use it. I suggest that Konversation should use inserting control sequences, not variable expansions with %B or whatever. It is very annoying problem when I have to deal with Korean percent-encoded URL.

To test this case, use these URLs.
1) Playstation arcticle in Korean Uncyclopedia

2) Playstation article in Japanese Uncyclopedia

We should probably escape % when pasting if variable expansion is enabled. I'll fix later today if none beats me to it.
Comment 3 Peter Simonsson 2007-05-29 22:34:05 UTC 
Fixed in trunk, rev 669617. It now automatically escapes % if you have variable expansion enabled. Will be in 1.1
