Is this a known bug?
A link with quotes is visible at preview time, but not visible when actually posted.
The above "link" word at preview time points to this URL (which, as a line on its own at least partially works):
http://www.google.com/search?q="green+bits"+"red+bits"
Workaround: fully encode the URL.
Edit:
After reading https://stackoverflow.com/editing-help (thanks Jeff) and trying to understand what George means, here are some samples in code format to make my question more clear:
This format does not work:
[link][5]
[5]: http://www.google.com/search?q="green+bits"+"red+bits"
This format does not work either:
[link][6]
[6]: <http://www.google.com/search?q="green+bits"+"red+bits">
This format works (but requires you to encode the URL, so you cannot copy/paste from your browseers' address bar):
[link][7]
[7]: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22green%2Bbits%22%2B%22red%2Bbits%22
