When entering a URL that contains spaces encodes as "%20", Falkon will not convert those to spaces but pass the string to the search engine verbatim. example: http://www.example.com/my%20beautiful%20page
As a workaround, you can use "Shift+Enter" to force loading any url (even invalid) you type in locationbar.
Thanks. And I've found that it will load the URL if it's a link, like above, but NOT if you enter it directly and load with Enter.

Does this fix other URL encodings as well? I've found that Falkon 3.0.0 displays links such as https://example.com/files/per%25cent.jpg correctly and shows the correct file name in the title ("per%cent.jpg"), but when trying to save the file it will propose "per�nt" as name.
>...but when trying to save the file it will propose "per�nt" as name. This is due to your LOCALE settings.
Why does it show the correct name in the title then?
Because it uses internal character encoding there.
I can see the correct name "per%cent.jpg" in Dolphin too, just when saving it from Falkon it gets mangled. Is it perhaps a Frameworks problem?
I've done a little testing, and it handles all other special characters and umlauts. Percent signs will break it however.
I do not agree that "per%cent.jpg" is the correct name, it should be "per cent.jpg" What happens if you start Falkon from terminal as follow: LANG=en_US.utf8 falkon
Same issue. The name should *not* be "per cent.jpg" because I'm not talking about spaces encoded as %20, but the percent sign itself encoded as %25
>...I'm not talking about spaces encoded as %20, but the percent sign itself encoded as %25 Aha,sorry! Well, I just tested with this: https://yadi.sk/i/KEx7vR7y3UFETC The pucture name is "Capture%du%2018-04-09%17:04:06.png", but in save dialog it becomes "Capture� 18-04-09:04:06.png", so perhaps something's really wrong.

I think it's not quite resolved yet as the file saving problem still exists.
The bug reported in first comment is fixed. Please don't reopen bugs, instead open new one.
