I'm trying to create a link in an org file with this URL:
https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/home?region=us-east-1#metricsV2:graph=~(view~'timeSeries~stacked~false~metrics~(~(~'CWAgent~'backup_time~'host~'desktop~'metric_type~'timing))~region~'us-east-1);query=~'*7bCWAgent*2chost*2cmetric_type*7d
and this description: "metrics".
To do it, I followed these steps:
1. run `emacs -Q test.org`, where test.org is not an existing file
2. emacs GUI displays, type `M-x org-insert-link`
3. a "Link" prompt is displayed, paste the link and press return
4. a "Description" prompt is displayed, type "metrics" and press return
At this point I expect to see only the text "metrics" in the buffer, with normal
link decoration (underline and highlight).
Instead, I see "~(~'CWAgent~metrics" with some mix of link decoration
and some other style, as shown in the following image:

The actual text from the file is
[[https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/home?region=us-east-1#metricsV2:graph=~(view~'timeSeries~stacked~false~metrics~(~(~'CWAgent~'backup_time~'host~'desktop~'metric_type~'timing))~region~'us-east-1);query=~'*7bCWAgent*2chost*2cmetric_type*7d][metrics]]
This is emacs 27.1 from http://ppa.launchpad.net/kelleyk/emacs/ubuntu,
with org version 9.3.
