A few days ago, I noticed that Seamonkey Navigator does not
percent-encode spaces in the address bar.

If I select the address bar text, spaces are also not percent-encoded
when Seamonkey sets the X11 primary selection (which is how I usually
copy addresses from the browser to paste elsewhere).

Is there some setting that controls this, or other way to make Seamonkey
percent-encode the address before setting the primary selection? (It is
fine if such a setting/change requires the displayed address bar text to
be percent-encoded.)

Copying with ctrl+C does percent-encode spaces *and* sets primary, so,
worst case, I could use that as a workaround, but I'd prefer to make it
work without ctrl+C (and without setting the clipboard).

(Spaces are just an example, this applies as well to all other
characters which would usually be percent-encoded.)

If you need example URLs to check for this behaviour:

    https://www.google.com/search?q=foo%20bar
    
    https://www.bing.com/search?q=foo%20bar


To avoid any confusion: This post is about a feature specific to
Seamonkey running on the X Window System. Some people in this group
might have never heard about X11 selections - for a short description,
