text field special characters removed after page submit and branch back to page

Uncle BuckJul 16 2019 — edited Jul 16 2019

Apex v5.0.3

Problem:

When the user enters any characters in the text field that contain any of 3 characters (colon, hash(#), comma), when the page refreshes after the submit, any characters after any of the 3 special characters, are removed.  The special character is also removed.  I'm pretty sure it is the after processing branch that is causing it, but I don't know how to solve it so that the entire text field remains exactly as typed by the user.  I'm sure the field contents must be escaped but I cannot figure out how to do it.

Page Details:

Page with a header region (static content) with one item, P86_CASE_ID as a text field;other objects removed for my troubleshooting  In the detail region (report region), there is a single ADD button; other objects removed for my troubleshooting.  The ADD button submits page with request set to ADD.

There is one after processing branch (On Submit: After Processing), with target type - 'Page in this Application', with the page number being the same page, 86, setting P86_CASE_ID with &P86_CASE_ID.

I was able to recreate the behavior in apex online.  In the Case Id text field, enter 55#44 and then select the Add button, and the #44 gets stripped from the end of the text field.  I need to have the field keep that same contents that were entered.
