Describe the bug
When a clickable URL is returned in a request, surrounded by escaped quotes, clicking on the URL carries the escape character in the final parameter of the new request.

The behaviour is seen whether the original response is viewed in "pretty" or "raw".

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Send a GET request in the desktop UI that returns a URL in escaped quotes (e.g. a jsonp response.)
  2. Click on the URL in the response
  3. Inspect the final parameter in the newly generated request
  4. It has the escape character appended

Expected behavior
The newly generated request should not have an escape character appended.

Screenshots
Step 1/2: GET request that returns a URL in escaped quotes:

Step 3/4: escape character is appended:

App information (please complete the following information):

  • App Type: Native App
  • Postman Version: 7.12.0
  • OS: macOS Mojave 10.14.6

Additional context
There are several open issues relating to escape chars, so this may be related, but I couldn't see one that obviously described the behaviour I'm seeing.
