Hello patitene ,
Thank you for posting in our forum.
This change was made to resolve an issue with special characters like “%” and “&”. To resolve it the current value now is getting encoded before being send to the server. To get the actual decoded value on the server you can decode it with: HttpUtility.UrlDecode(val).
Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Hello Maya:
thanks for you response. Although this change generates huge changes in my applications.
II did not see this significant change is announced with the importance that corresponds.
I have to change all aplication all pages all controls.
Not have been better put this feature as optional?
This way you have generalize an exception. Characters like % and & are rare in these controls.

We are running into this issue also... any update on this?
I'm using v2015.2 and am having the same issue, but only after a postbacks. I've been using your web drop downs since 2008 and have never seen this until now.
When my users select "Atlanta Georgia" from the drop down it displays "Atlanta%20Georgia".
I can't use older versions anymore because of compatibility issues with the newer browsers.
Is there a quick, easy solution for this?
Thanks, Russell
Upgrading to version 2016.1 solved the problem.
