Hi, in latest Ubuntu Xenial, I am experiencing the following behavior:

$ xdg-open 'http://example.com/?foo&bar'

The page that opens in the browser is simply 'http://example.com/?foo'

This is with xdg-utils package 1.1.0~rc3+git20150907-1ubuntu3

It's not clear to me if this is a duplicate of
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44046 which sounds related,
but is also 4 years old, and I definitely have not been experiencing
this issue for the last 4 years.

Let me know if there's any other information I can provide to debug,
thanks.
