The segments editor fails when the user introduces a special character value of the input.

Special characters

Those special characters are the following:

 

Special character	Special meaning	Hexadecimal value
+	Indicates a space (spaces cannot be used in a URL).	%2B
/	Separates directories and subdirectories.	%2F
?	Separates the actual URL and the parameters.	%3F
%	Specifies special characters.	%25
#	Indicates bookmarks.	%23
&	A separator between parameters specified in the URL.	%26
