"Looking for an older issue?" link does not work on IE11

Summary

"Looking for an older issue?" link on kanban board does not work on IE11

Environment

• JIRA Software 7.11.1
• IE11

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open a kanban board
2. In the "Done" column click on "Looking for an older issue?"

Expected Results

• Link is opened successfully

Actual Results

• IE11 runs into HTTP 400 Bad Request error

Workaround

• N/A, use other browsers

Note

The request fails due to the "Looking for an older issue?" link being unencoded, ie:

issues/?jql=project = "ABC" AND status = "In Progress"

Other browsers seems to be able to encode the URL on their own which changes it to below and request goes through successfully:

/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20"ABC"%20AND%20status%20%3D%20"In%20Progress"

However, this link works fine for IE11 on JIRA Software 7.9. The browser is redirected to an encoded URL after clicking on the link.
