This exact problem is happening to us now, just started today. I can't click any links. There are no special characters in the folder names. I tried creating a new view and no go.

Ok so here was our solution - we had "URL with edit button" as the field that was being displayed. For whatever reason this week all of our lists stopped working. I unchecked that field and chose "URL" and now it is working.

Was there an update to sharepoint? I'm not sure why all the sudden all of our working lists would break.

  Paul33 thank you so much, ours is now also fixed! It appears the "URL with edit field" has now been labelled "old", so I also changed the view to "URL" and working.
