      Regression bug on Confluence, from the https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-7157

      External links containing square brackets render without a href attribute.

      How to replicate:

      Insert Link with Addresshttp://google.com?q=[foo]

      Expected:
      <a href="http://google.com?q=%5Bfoo%5D" class="external-link" rel="nofollow" target="_parent">http://google.com?q=[foo]</a>
      Actual:
      <a rel="nofollow" target="_parent">http://google.com?q=[foo]</a>
      Current Workaround:
      • Use other macros to insert the link:
        • Quick link
        • the (free) Linking Plugin (Add-on) by Servicerocket.
