It seems that links to pages with both upper case and non-ASCII characters in their titles don't get rendered properly. Instead of a "display page" link, a "create page" is displayed - even though the page already exists.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Add the following link to page X: [title ä]
2) View the updated page X. "title ä" is now a "create page" link, just as it should be. Click the link and save some random content to the page.
3) View page X again. "title ä" is now a "display page" link, just as it should be.
4) Go and edit page "title ä". Change the title to "Title ä" (or whatever, just as long there's at least one upper case character and one non-ASCII character).
5) View page X. "Title ä" is now a "create page" link, even though the page exists and so the link should be a "display page" link. The page still exists (can be found through "Browse space", for instance), but the link is broken.
A workaround would be to replace all links with upper case and non-ASCII characters with ID reference links (e.g. "[Title ä|$42]"), but that's a tiresome task to do. I realize this is not a major issue for English content, but as our Confluence has content in Finnish (in which letters like ä and ö are fairly common), this is a major bug for us.
I think this problem didn't exist in 1.4.1, but I'm not totally sure about that. The problem certainly existed in 1.4.2 and continues to exist in 1.4.3.
