Without running my own experiments, I was curious that you are URL decoding a
string that has not been URL encoded? And if I am not mistaken, the %
character is an escape character in URL encoding. So what I would suspect is
happening is that it is trying to decode "% " and getting something weird.
What do you get if you try this;
<cfset FORM.goalComments = URLEncodedFormat("100% match")/>
<cfoutput>#URLDecode(FORM.goalComments)#</cfoutput>

....Subject: URLDecode and %<space>
....
....I've run across an issue that I THINK may be a bug in the URLDecode()
....function.
....
....Using CFMX 7 (haven't tried earlier versions), this code:
....<cfset FORM.goalComments = "100% match" />
....<cfoutput>#URLDecode(FORM.goalComments)#</cfoutput>
....
....ends up outputting:
....100% mtch
....
....I've narrowed it down to the % followed by a space. If you
....URLDecode("% xy") [where x and y can be any character], it strips out
....the "y". It's like it's interpreting %<space> to mean "jump one
....character and delete".
....
....Has anyone seen this or know why this might be?
....
....[Right now, the code I'm seeing this in may not even need the
....URLDecode() function [I'm investigating], but it still appears to be a
....problem]
