Any idea ?
Try escaping the '[' and ']' characters. If you use the editor, it should do this for you anyway.

the Confluence editor.... if you go "Insert menu > Link" and paste your link into the Address field, the editor should auto-escape it for you

just tried in 4.2.13 and 3.5.17, both appeared to do the same...
Doh! I just worked out what it is!
I'm just doing a right click on your URL in the question above, copy shortcut and pasting it in to the editor. The URL has already been escaped by Answers & I'm just picking it up

Are there any macros or plugins that can do without encoding the url?

Not sure I understand... %5D and %5B are the same codes as [ and ]. The web application on the end should be able to decode this quite happily.
if for some reason it can't... then I'd use HTML macro or write a small user macro to dump out the HTML directly

I'd day that it's because the '[' character is a trigger for a link to be inserted. https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Using+Autocomplete
