So far so good. But for every save of a post this string is increased in length with more and more such %nn substrings. Example: hello-%73%23%54%10 In the end the field gets too long to save in the database, and the save fails. Also: When the default permalink structure is used this behaviour cannot be seen or crrected in the edit post page, but may bee seen and corrected when using Quik Edit, if one is aware of this bug. Some of the users I serve have some private posts for internal use, which they update up to one hundred times over a period . They complain that ther changes no longer gets saved. And their titles often consists of Scandinavian characters (ÆØÅ) and slashes. 1. The post_name must not grow in length for each update 2. When the post_name is too long for the DB to handel, it should be truncated to avoid DB errors. 3. When a DB error occurs the users should be warned that the post, or any object for that matter, for some reason, was NOT saved. This does not happen in this case, at least.
