WordPress now converts & to amp; and is breaking some URL's

    In this latest version of WordPress (3.7.1) I noticed that if I explicitly type a & in a url in the HTML/TXT window all of the & characters are automatically changed to amp;

    For example, I have a link to..
    <a href="https://someothersite.com/store/product.php?productid=19&cat=0&page=&featured=Y&partner=me" target="_blank">link</a>

    And it gets changed to
    <a href="https://someothersite.com/store/product.php?productid=19& amp;cat=0& amp;page=& amp;featured=Y& amp;partner=me" target="_blank">broken link</a>
    (without the spaces – for some reason the forums are interpreting the symbols in between the code tags and showing only & in both examples)

    Is there some fix or work-around for this?

    Thanks,
