Links with asteriks won't render as a clickable link

Steps to reproduce

• Insert a link to any page containing * for example: h ttp://www.atlassian.com/whatever*/something.html
• Save/preview the page
• It seems to be a link, but not clickable

Possible workaround
Use the ASCII hex form of the asteriks like this: http://www.atlassian.com/whatever*%2A/something.html
