problem with urls in bibliography (pdf output)

Hi,
I'm getting garbled URLs in the pdf output for a bibliography. I'm not sure 
what I am doing wrong.
By garbled, I mean this here, copied from the pdf (note all the happy %20s):

Pitt, David. 2022. “Mental Representation.” In The Stanford Encyclopedia of 
Philosophy, edited by Edward N. Zalta and Uri Nodelman, Fall 2022. 
%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20% 
20%20%20%20https://plato.stanford.edu/archives/fall2022/entries/mentalrepresentation/%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20% 
20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20; Metaphysics Research Lab, Stanford University.  

Got this through calling `pandoc mwe.bib -s --citeproc -o mwe.pdf` like 
suggested in a manual.
(I had similar results calling it as --bibliography, with the main input a 
.tex file that included \usepackage{url}, so that does not seem to be the 
problem)
The mwe.bib file that produced this is this:
```
@incollection{sep-mental-representation,
    author = {Pitt, David},
    booktitle = {The {Stanford} Encyclopedia of Philosophy},
    edition = {{F}all 2022},
    editor = {Edward N. Zalta and Uri Nodelman},
    howpublished = {\url{
                    
https://plato.stanford.edu/archives/fall2022/entries/mental-representation/
                    }},
    publisher = {Metaphysics Research Lab, Stanford University},
    title = {{Mental Representation}},
    year = {2022},
}
```

 Any ideas what I might have overlooked here? 
Thanks,
Best,
Tobias

It should make the problem go away if you remove the spaces and newlines around the URL. (%20 encodes a space and %0A a newline)

But this does seem like a bug (I guess in the LaTeX reader's treatment of \url) so it should be reported on our bug tracker.
