Tracked Link URLs with an ampersand are being encoded by text editor when saving to Links table

listmonk 2.1 binary
ubuntu 20.04 server and client.
chrome browser

Steps to recreate:
create campaign and with the body of the email:  this is my bold link
select that text and click the create-link button in editor.
paste in this url: https://github.com?this=test&that=test2
select "Track Link"
click Save.
Start/Send Campaign

In PG the url value saved in Link table is: https://github.com?this=test&that=test2

When clicking the link in the received email, it is unfurled as: https://github.com?this=test&that=test2

Note: that if I don't click "Track Link", the URL is not encoded/mangled.
So it seems like the process of saving the URL to the Links table is mangling the ampersand (&).
Or the url isn't being url-decoded when unfurled.

When I create the link using markdown, it looks like the URL is not encoded/mangled in the Links table,
[https://github.com?this=test&that=test2](https://github.com/?this=test&that=test2)

but it is encoded/mangled when being unfurled after click
[https://github.com?this=test&that=test2](https://github.com/?this=test&that=test2)
