Describe the Issue

When I'm using postman to run POST commands, I see for some of the commands, an additional garbage value gets added at the end of the URL.

I have 2 screenshots for the issue that I'm facing.
In the postman Screenshot, you can see on the right side the equivalent curl command the postman is generating. The URL looks correct. Then I copied the URL from postman and paste it in my terminal, and suddenly I see an invisible character which is getting added in the URL.

In the 2nd screenshot, you can see the additional <2029> garbage value gets added.

This issue causes the URL link to change and doesn't hit the required controller.

Steps To Reproduce

This issue doesn't occur for all the POST commands.

@siddhant16 U+2029 is the paragraph separator Unicode character.
Most likely the URL was copy-pasted from somewhere and that is where the hidden character comes from.

Try deleting the URL after selecting all and typing the entire URL manually and check to see if that fixes the issue. Alternatively create a new request and type the same URL manually into that (and setup body-payload header) etc.

Tip: You can check the exact request being sent by checking the Postman Console
