FS#568 Saving changes after edit conflict converts page text to gibberish

Backend

  If I get the page indicating that my edits conflict with a newer version (heading "A newer version exists"), clicking the "save" button can result in the content being replaced by a whole slew of %xx codes.
  
  INSTRUCTIONS TO REPRODUCE:
  
  The following steps are the simplest way I know to reliably reproduce the problem:
  
  1.  Create a link to a non-existent topic, click on that link.
  2.  Choose "Edit this page" and enter some text.  Save.
  3.  When the updated page is displayed, click "Edit this page" again, and add to the text.  Save again.
  4.  This time, hit the back button to return to the editing page with all the latest text.
  5.  Now, add some more to the page and then save it.
  6.  You will get the "A newer version exists" page.  See that the proposed changes are exactly what you want, and click "save"
  7.  The next page that comes up has all the hex codes.  (In the example I just did to verify these steps, I got the following contents...)
  Some+text%0A%0ASome+more+text%0A%0AUsed+the+back+button+and+added+this+line.%0A
  
  I have followed these steps twice to reproduce the problem.

  I can not reproduce this. Besides that I'm not able to follow your reproduce steps because using the backbutton is usually circumvented by the use of an redirect after saving - everything works fine when I force a conflict using two browsertabs.
  
  Can you please add some more info:
  
  - Which Browser do you use?
  - Can you attach the HTML of the page when the Conflict is displayed ("A never version exists") - just use your browsers save as... and attach the html file
