The How to Ask page doesn't correctly URL encode the string typed in the search field. For example, if someone types "Objects in C++" in the search field and then clicks on the "proceed »" link below, they are redirected to this URL:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask?title=Objects%20in%20C++

Now on the top field of the new page, the title of the question shows up as "Objects in C " (!). Obviously, the title of the previous form is not correctly URL encoded, as the + sign should become %2B in the URL (I'd suggest using encodeURIComponent in JavaScript for this purpose). Apparently, the problem involves other StackExchange sites too, not just SO.

Fixed in the next build, presumably build rev 2013.12.9.1736 on meta and 2013.12.9.1208 on sites.
