Umlaut contained in link with JQL component search not properly encoded

  1. Disable new project navigation
  2. Open the Project summary page
  3. Click "Issues"
  4. Click on a component containing an umlaut in the section "Unresolved: By Component"
  5. The issues with that component are not found but an error message like Capture.PNG is displayed

Reverse Proxy

  • The issue is only reproduced when accessing JIRA using reverse proxy. By-passing is a temporary workaround. 
    1. Stop JIRA.
    2. Add an extra http connector to server.xml :

      <Connector acceptCount="100" connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" enableLookups="false" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" port="8081" protocol="HTTP/1.1" redirectPort="8443" useBodyEncodingForURI="true"/>
    3. Start JIRA
    4. Access JIRA using IP:port, for example http://10.1.1.123:8081
    5. Verify if the issue still occurs. 
    6. If the issue still occurs, please raise a support ticket to Atlassian Support
