Google Chrome fixes UTF-8 / per cent encoding link pasting

The way that Chrome handles links with UTF-8 characters pasted on web forms (i.e. forums) is problematic, i.e. it breaks the links.

For example, see at the bottom of this page.



In the first case, the URL was pasted from a Chrome window to a Chrome window. In the second case, it was pasted from a Firefox window to a Firefox window.

It appears that Chrome people have finally reacted and fixed it (apart from a forum post I also had to send a bug report about 10 days ago).

Now, Chrome, is absolutely my favourite browser as I do a lot of UTF-8 link pasting in forum discussions.
