vscode.Uri.parse is double encoding certain characters

Version: 1.39.0-insider
Commit: de03947
Date: 2019-09-23T08:23:12.535Z
Electron: 6.0.9
Chrome: 76.0.3809.146
Node.js: 12.4.0
V8: 7.6.303.31-electron.0
OS: Darwin x64 18.7.0

Steps to Reproduce:

const body = "[README](https://github.com/PowerShell/vscode-powershell#reporting-problems)";
const encodedBody = encodeURIComponent(body);
const fullUrl = `https://github.com/PowerShell/vscode-powershell/issues/new?body=${encodedBody}`;
vscode.commands.executeCommand("vscode.open", vscode.Uri.parse(fullUrl));

You'll notice in your browser that the url will not have a correctly un-encoded pound (#) sign.
For example:

https://github.com/PowerShell/vscode-powershell/issues/new?body=%5BREADME%5D(https://github.com/PowerShell/vscode-powershell%2523reporting-problems)

Notice the %2523. There's some double encoding happening.

Can you explain why this issue is a duplicate of that?

My issue is with escaping of characters that shouldn't be escaped. The issue you linked seems to be about unescaping.
