Issue Summary

Some external web links are not clickable in Confluence. Eg -
https://example.com/x?a=javascript%3Ax is not clickable but Confluence is able to render the link - https://example.com/x?a=javascrip%3Ax just fine. This specific change in behaviour happened as part of editor changes that happened under Confluence 6.14. Prior to 6.14, above external web link was clickable. For some reason, editor now does not add an <href> attributes to these links as a result, these links are not clickable.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new page and add the web link to this page - https://example.com/x?a=javascript%3Ax
2. Once the page is published, try and click on this link.

Expected Results

This external web link is clickable.

Actual Results

External Web link is not clickable at all.

Workaround

Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
