Desktop: Interface to get web data by example does not correctly interpolate parameters

[Moof]

Hi,

I've been working with the web site parser by example, and discovered that the example creator does not correctly interpolate parameters. I'm using version 2.62.5222.761 64-bit (September 2018)

I create a parameter called Category Page, and gave it a value:

I then try to import a web site:

This pops up the naviagtor with the correct page:

But clicking on the "Add table using examples" button opens up a completely different page:

This is now unusable, as I don't have the original data.

Using the URL as a text field rather than the parameter works as expected.
