Confluence: Import Word Document: Colon in Title changes

Question

Hi

Confluence version 6.7.2

I think this is a very minor bug. I am importing a number of old reports (Word documents) into Confluence and creating pages from them.

When I import a document, I am using it to replace the existing (blank) page. The configuration is shown below.

I have entered the title for the page which includes colons. But when the page has been imported, the colons have been replaced by underscores "_" I have repeated the process several times and get the same result every time - so not just a typing error.

Is there some obscure setting that I need to change or is this an idiosyncrasy of Confluence?
