=== Links inserted with `+&+` encoding are now decoded to `&` before inserting
// #TINY-12504

Previously, when pasting URLs containing encoded ampersands `+&+` into {productname}, the encoded values were preserved, resulting in double encoding when the link was inserted into content. For example, a pasted link such as

[source,text]
----
https://example.com/search?&query=example
----
would appear in the editor source as

[source,text]
----
https://example.com/search?&query=example
----

This caused issues when opening such links, as the URLs became invalid. In {release-version}, {productname} now automatically decodes `+&+` back to `+&+` before inserting the link, ensuring that pasted URLs remain valid and functional in both the editor and the source code.
