Dear Skim users:

Here is a strange case of a broken link in a PDF.  It could be a bug
in Skim or the website for a scientific paper:

https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpls.2020.571881/full

Get the PDF and look at page 14.

Under SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL, click on the link.

https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpls.2020.571881/full%23supplementary-material

It breaks with: 404 Not Found

The correct URL, printed in the paper is:

https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpls.2020.571881/full#supplementary-material

The link works in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC but not
Skim Version 1.5.13 (129).

I'm using Firefox 82.0.3.

Surprisingly, using the latest Skim and Firefox, it works on a MacBook Air 
laptop
but not on a desktop iMac.

On the laptop the url has the '#' while on the iMac it is '%23'.
Substituting the '#' on the iMac - and the link works!

Is this a bug in Skim or a bug in the PDF?
