Old Permalinks Not Working

[Chillintoo]

When attempting to open some saved permalinks you get a "The requested layout does not exist" error and a blank layout. I tried on Chrome and Firefox.

Example link

In the firefox / adblock combo I use your url crashes angular, and I only see {{ picker.name }} and {{ keyboard.meta.name }} in the page.

It looks like your data is still in the url... do you know roughly when you saved that link? maybe that'll help in narrowing down which change broke it

I'm not 100% sure but I think it was around August of last year.

if anyone ever what to debug this, I was able to recover the data from link with:

import pyurlon
import json

data = "@@_y:1&x:1%3B&=Esc&_x:1%3B&=F1&=F2&=F3&=F4&_x:0.5%3B&=F5&=F6&=F7&=F8&_x:0.5%3B&=F9&=F10&=F11&=F12&_x:0.5%3B&=Esc&=Delete&=PrtSc&=%C2%B0%0A%CE%B8&=Super%3B&@_x:16.5%3B&=(%0A%5B&=)%0A%5D&=%3C%0A,&=%3E%0A.&=Sub%3B&@_x:1%3B&=~%0A%60&=!%0A1&=%2F@%0A2&=%23%0A3&=$%0A4%0A%0A%C2%A4&=%%0A5&=%5E%0A6&=%2F&%0A7&=*%0A8&=(%0A9&=)%0A0&=%2F_%0A-&=+%0A%2F=&_w:2%3B&=Backspace&_x:0.5%3B&=Num%20Lock&=%2F:%0A%2F%3B&=%7C%0A%5C&=%2F%2F&=*%3B&@_x:1&w:1.5%3B&=Tab&=Q%0A%0A%0A%C2%A2&=W%0A%0A%0A~&=E%0A%0A%0A%E2%87%80&=R&=T&=Y&=U&=I&=O&=P&=%7B%0A%5B%0A%0A%E2%9F%A8&=%7D%0A%5D%0A%0A%E2%9F%A9&_w:1.5%3B&=%7C%0A%5C&_x:0.5%3B&=Frac&=7%0AHome&=8%0A%E2%86%91&=9%0APgUp&=-%3B&@_x:1&w:1.75%3B&=Caps%20Lock&=A%0A%0A%0A%C2%B0&=S%0A%0A%0A%E2%80%95&=D&=F&=G&=H&=J&=K&=L&=%2F:%0A%2F%3B&=%22%0A'%0A%0A%CE%A3&_w:2.25%3B&=Enter&_x:0.5&h:2%3B&=Shift&=4%0A%E2%86%90&=5&=6%0A%E2%86%92&=+%3B&@_x:1&w:2.25%3B&=Shift&=Z&=X&=C&=V&=B&=N&=M&=%3C%0A,&=%3E%0A.&=%3F%0A%2F%2F%0A%0A%CE%B8&_w:1.75%3B&=Shift&_x:2.5%3B&=1%0AEnd&=2%0A%E2%86%93&=3%0APgDn&_h:2%3B&=Enter%3B&@_y:-0.75&x:15.25%3B&=%E2%86%91%3B&@_y:-0.25&x:1&w:1.25%3B&=Ctrl&=Win&_w:1.25%3B&=Alt&_a:7&w:6%3B&=&_a:4&w:1.25%3B&=Alt%20Gr&=Win&_w:1.25%3B&=Ctrl&_x:3.5&w:2%3B&=0%0AIns&=.%0ADel%3B&@_y:-0.75&x:14.25%3B&=%E2%86%90&=%E2%86%93&=%E2%86%92"

data = data.replace("_", "$")
parsed = pyurlon.parse(data)
print(json.dumps(parsed))

which gives:

which produces following permalink

(very similar to the original)
