Re: [O] [bug] Org link dialog escapes URL spaces incorrectly

[Jeff Horn]

I just pulled the latest org-mode. The problem persists for me, even
though it was reported as fixed in a previous thread. Can anyone
replicate with the latest org?

Org-mode version 7.7 (release_7.7.513.g2a5877)
GNU Emacs 24.0.50.3 (i386-apple-darwin9.8.0, NS apple-appkit-949.54)
of 2011-08-10 on braeburn.aquamacs.org - Aquamacs Distribution 3.xdev
