Summary

0005476: Direct link to testcase where TC ID prefix contains an '&' (the ampersand symbol), does not link

Description

If I create a test case where the test case ID prefix contains an '&' symbol, e.g. "S&BX-" with a testcase ID is "S&BX-8:Testing & in test case link"

I then click on the 'globe' symbol to expose the test case link. In this example it would be "http://www2.mycompany.com/testlinksite/linkto.php?tprojectPrefix=S%26BX&item=testcase&id=S%26BX-8" [^]
I then copy that test case link in to another browser tab and I get an error "Testproject with prefix (S) does not exist".

As you can see from the link the test case ID prefix of S&BX is escaped to "S%26BX", 26 appears to be the hex ascii code for an '&' so the escaping is substituting correctly, but the browsers don't seem to be able to interpret it.

Tested in all major PC browsers

Steps To Reproduce

-Create a test case using the assigned prefix
-Select the test case from the left navigation tree view
-In the right pane click the world icon to expose the direct link to the test -case.
-Right click on exposed link and select open in new tab (firefox behaviour)
-Switch to new browser tab.

Expected result: Test case opens correctly in Testlink
Actual result: Testlink shows the error message "Testproject with prefix (S) does not exist", where 'S' is the char before the '&' in the testcase prefix.
