As designed [1.3] Strange problem with "+" in URLs

[imthebest]

I'm trying to paste this:

http://www.myforum.com/misc/location-info?location=my+location

However the system removes the plus "+" symbol:

http://www.myforum.com/misc/location-info?location=my+location

It doesn't, it just URL decodes the display for readability.
