---

Action Performed:

1. Open any chat.
2. Copy the URL and paste it parallel to the original URL.
3. Press Enter to reload the page and observe that a blank page is displayed.

Expected Result:

When copying and pasting the URL parallel to the original URL and reloading with the Enter key, only one URL should be selected and a blank page should not be displayed. (I used Slack as an example)

Actual Result:

When copying and pasting the URL parallel to the original URL and reloading with the Enter key, a blank page is displayed instead of the expected content.

Workaround:

Can the user still use Expensify without this being fixed? Have you informed them of the workaround?

Okay, so the point is that we should resolve to this page that we see when you click "back":

And not hang on this page:

When we see an error right? That makes sense.

It's weird that GitHub can render this though right?

I think if rendering the page and ignoring the following characters is possible, we should do that. Let's see what C+ thinks.
