Repro steps

<a shareButton="twitter" sbUrl="https://example.com" sbDescription="@LoveMHz #TestTag test #Test">Share on Twitter

The log given by the failure

The Twitter URL gets encoded as "https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com&text=@LoveMHz%20#TestTag test #Test"

Which results in the tweet being "@LoveMHz https://example.com"

Desired functionality

The text attribute being properly encoded as "%40LoveMHz%20%23TestTag%20test%20%23Test" and for the tweet to read as "@LoveMHz #TestTag test #Test"

As you see the encoded text is correct, Twitter does not accept hashtags in the text area, there is a tags input where you can define your tags.

@MurhafSousli It does appear they support it though. If I manually encode the requested URL then it does appear correctly.

https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com&text=%40LoveMHz%20%23TestTag%20test%20%23Test

Ok, then the description needs to be encoded before
here is a workaround until I update
