I'm experiencing a weird problem with AdWords, where animated banners' destinations, when I click the play button from AdWords Editor to open it in a browser. The file opens, but when I click, the destination URL only has one of the parameters. This is the case regardless of whether the parameters were in the clickTAG URL or even inputted directly in AdWords editor. Obviously, I want to track things properly, but AdWords is breaking the tracking.

Anyone know how to fix this, please?

It could be that the preview tool itself has issues, if it's live, drill into Analytics and see if that Ad Group is tracking in actual traffic in Analytics properly.
