Yes, this is a rather unfortunate thing that you are not alone in seeing.
I have not been able to figure anything out as to a direct cause but have definitely seen a number of threads that are all tip-toeing around URL issues that are not immediately obvious as related though, I believe, are related to some shared core hiccup.
I have not recreated or seen the issue yet this week so, perhaps, it was resolved with 17.6.2? Or, perhaps that is just good fortune so for. I’m definitely on the lookout for causes/patterns and will share back if anything useful presents..
