First, for reference, are you using the official Dropbox API v2 JavaScript SDK?

Looking at the two URLs you shared, the differences appear to be: (unless something got lost in formatting when posting to the forum)

Can you try initially supplying the URL exactly as it is the second, reformatted version? I believe it's technically wrong to supply it like that since the 'redirect_uri' URL parameter isn't properly URL encoded, but it may be useful for the sake of troubleshooting to see if that helps.

    I tried using the official SDK to get the login URL. Same symptoms.  When I have some time I'll see if I can try the reformatted URL.
