Illegal Characters In Article Text Element Cause 403 Error When Save

I ran across this issue today - and mind you it took a few days to actually identify - but it appears that when saving an article with the following characters in it you'll get a 403 error. Here's the line that creates all the problems:

<ol> <li>Kent State University, Women in Podiatry. https://www.kent.edu/cpm/news/women-podiatry#:~:text=According%20to%20the%20American%20Podiatric,cited%20in%20Delzell%2C%202016).</li> </ol>

It's just a line from a list of references, but it contained a "#:~:text=" part in the URL (so that when the page was loaded it would highlight a piece of the content on the loaded page). Nope. Apparently you can't do that. Now to be fair I didn't try doing this as a straight Joomla html code piece - I'm using the SPPageBuilder with a text element. I'm not sure why it causes the issue, but once I removed the "#:~:text=According%20to%20the%20American%20Podiatric,cited%20in%20Delzell%2C%202016)" part I didn't have any issue saving the article anymore. I'm going to guess that the "#:~:text=" part (or maybe part of it) was where it went bad.

Hi there!

Sorry for your issue. What was the full error statemeent, please? You mean you were editing atricle with SPPB editor?

I'm not familier with this issue. It would be better to have a screencast(video) illustrating the whole scenario, so that I can regenerate it at my end too.

Best Regards
