Description Alvaro Manuel Recio Perez 2011-03-14 16:17:04 UTC 
Version:           2.4.0 (using KDE 4.6.1) 
OS:                Linux

The Wikipedia widget correctly shows pages with an ampersand in its title (&). However, clicking the back button after following a link tries to load an article with its title truncated at the ampersand.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Play a song from an artist with "&" in its name (I tested it with "Beyond Good & Evil Soundtrack).
2. Click a link in the Wikipedia widget.
3. Press the "back" button.

Actual Results:  
4. The Wikipedia widget tries to return to an article with its name truncated (in my case "Beyond Good".

Expected Results:  
The widget should correctly return to the previous article.

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.35-27-generic

This is an automated message from the triager:

Amarok 2.4.1 has been released on May 8 already. Could you please upgrade and test if you can still reproduce this bug?

Without feedback within a month we will close this bug as resolved.

Thank you for your understanding.

Yes, the bug is still reproducible in Amarok 2.4.1.

Thank you for your feedback.
Comment 4 Sven Krohlas 2011-11-29 14:59:54 UTC 
Also other characters like "+" are problematic. They seem to stay in the url and are not being percent encoded. But it seems to be more complicated to fix than it sounds...

Hmm, just tried it here with "Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim".
It works (back and forward).

Are you running qt 4.8?
Comment 6 Sven Krohlas 2011-12-05 09:16:53 UTC 
I recently upgraded from 4.7.x to 4.8 beta, same behaviour:

1. Artist: "Mike & the Mechanics"
2. Applet shows article: "Mike + The Mechanics"
3. click on "English" in the article text
4. Applet shows article "England"
5. clicking back: Applet shows article "Mike The Mechanics" (which does not exist)
Comment 7 Rick W. Chen 2011-12-06 08:24:37 UTC 
(In reply to comment #6)

I still can't reproduce the problem.

1. Electric guitar
2. Mike + The Mechanics
3. England (English)

hitting back arrow

4. (2)
5. (1)

Not sure why in your case you get "Mike The Mechanics" at step 5.
Anyway it's probably a url/encoding/conversion issue. Possible fix
coming.
