[O] [IT] Broken support for links to text files (both internal & external)
Dear org-mode developers, Please find attached an org-mode file describing the issue. It is also pasted here for technical convenience: -8<- This is a sample org-mode log to report on what looks like a regression in between Debian Jessie's emacs24 (=24.4+1-5+deb8u1) and Debian Stretch's emacs24 (=24.5+1-11+deb9u1). The regression makes several some kinds of org-mode links not to work anymore. Examples: This should be a [[%5B2018-01-03%20mer.%2016:29%5D][valid link]] to log's headline but Org can't find it anymore and asks for the creation of a new headline: "No match - create this as a new heading?
