The URLs of the blog are user controlled and they can contain all sort of chars
like international language, question marks, double quotes, gt, lt, etc.
Thus the links have to be URL encoded in order to be valid.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create an article with a URL which needs URL encoding.
2. Open the article in Akregator
3. Right click on "Complete story" and "Copy the link address"

OBSERVED RESULT
When copied the following text gets into the clipboard:

https://blog.krustev.net/blog/??+???????????

And is displayed the same way on the status bar when "hovered" (with all
percent encoded chars as question marks) .

EXPECTED RESULT
The link should be displayed as URL decoded in the status bar:

  https://blog.krustev.net/blog/За+запетайките

And the encoded link should be "copied" or passed to the browser when clicked.

Various other feeds work with these links as expected. E.g. gnome-feeds,
liferea.
Web based ones also: feedly.com, feedburner.com, feeder.co
