Description

Fixed by jonny with 58231 - thanks !


In a number of plugins that have text fields (I suspect all of them that do) e.g
- MOUSEOVER for the label parameter or the
- INCLUDE plugin for the nopage_text field,

If these are edited in wysiwyg wiki pages (the full HTML wysiwyg version) and you add text that has single quotes in it, then some sort of ‘escaping’ seems to be happening.

Every time you edit the page more and more \ characters are added in front of the single quote character so a simple MOUSEOVER label that is supposed to say:

Hover over here to show a wiki syntax ‘sticky’ pop-up

Ends up as:

Hover over here to show a wiki syntax \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\‘sticky\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\’ pop-up

Where there can be hundreds of \ after a couple of edits, and opening the wysiwyg editor takes longer and longer – presumably because it is repetitively ‘escaping’.

Solution
