query params with '/' cause state to load twice

[quoideneuf]

This is an issue that appears to only affect 0.2.15.

When the ui-sref directive passes a query param containing a slash, the controller fires twice. The second time the stateParam has the slashes escaped.

Compare the "foo" and "bar" states in this plunker:

I'll throw onto this issue some sample output from that plunkr.

I am in the Foo state.
If I navigate to the Bar state…
stateChangeStart and stateChangeSuccess fire twice.

Start:   home.foo{"param":"here_there"} -> home.bar{"param":"/here/there"}
Success: home.foo{"param":"here_there"} -> home.bar{"param":"/here/there"}
Start:   home.bar{"param":"/here/there"} -> home.bar{"param":"%2Fhere%2Fthere"}
Success: home.bar{"param":"/here/there"} -> home.bar{"param":"%2Fhere%2Fthere"}

Note that on the second attempt, it navigates to some URI-encoded version of the Bar state.

I am in the [URI-encoded version of the] Bar state.
If I navigate to the Foo state…
stateChangeStart and stateChangeSuccess fire just once.

Start:   home.bar{"param":"%2Fhere%2Fthere"} -> home.bar{"param":"/here/there"}
Success: home.bar{"param":"%2Fhere%2Fthere"} -> home.bar{"param":"/here/there"}

Curiouser and curiouser.

I can confirm this issue appeared in 0.2.15. We had to revert to 0.2.14 for now.

Is there an ETA for a fix on this issue?

I am also experiencing this issue.
