Item8756: Configure goofs up default values of complex settings

In trunk we now have a button that says default next to a setting that has a different current value than the default.

When you look at a plugin like TablePlugin its Config spec contains

$Foswiki::cfg{Plugins}{TablePlugin}{DefaultAttributes} = 'tableborder="1" valign="top" headercolor="#fff" headerbg="#687684" headerbgsorted="#345" databg="#fff,#edf4f9" databgsorted="#f1f7fc,#ddebf6" tablerules="rows" headerrules="cols"';

If you change this setting in configure to something slightly different and save (e.g. set tableborder="0") and return to configure you will see this default button/link next to the current value.

If you click it (and when you hoover over the default text) you see that configure thinks the default is

$Foswiki::cfg{Plugins}{TablePlugin}{DefaultAttributes} = 'tableborder="1" valign="top" headercolor="#fff" headerbg="D7684" headerbgsorted=""5" databg="#fff,#edf4f9" databgsorted="#f1f7fc,#ddebf6" tablerules="rows" headerrules="cols"';

so #687684 becomes D7684. And #345 becomes "5 (note the extra ")

The result is that tables are all wrong in colours.

The TablePlugin Config.spec looks completely OK.

This is a bug in configure.

For some reason the JS in the client required a strange '#' based encoding that was unable to cope with an embedded #. I changed the code to use the standard URL encoding instead.

This was done slightly differently in 1.0.9 so it shouldn't exhibit the problem; thus closing this.
