Comma Encoding in Space Name Bug

I found (what appears to be) a bug where if you have a space name with a comma in it, the comma is incorrectly encoded in the filename. It should be %2C, but it appears to create files that have the percent sign encoded twice.

To repro this:

 - Create a page with a comma in the title

 - Export the html

 - Click the main navigation link auto generated to the page

 - Link is broken.

Hi there,

Thanks for starting this thread. :) 

As mentioned, we believe this is the bug you are encountering:

  • CONFCLOUD-62585 Links break on HTML export file if the page title has a special character

I left an internal comment for the developer regarding re-opening it, and I'm in touch with him via our internal chat system too.

I'll follow up with you when I have any information or if I need to open a new bug.

Thanks again!
Shannon

I have also encountered this issue. It's a pretty common use case. I have pages titled "Lastname, Firstname" and exporting this as html results in this problem described above.

The bug still exists in 2024. It was closed by atlassian without resolving it. Alot of links to github don't work because of it. Should reopen this ticket
