Summary	0005293: Tidle signs in description cause display problem
Description	The text Repeat above sequence 0000021:0000045 times (Repeat above sequence <tilde>45 times) in the description will cause the TILDE FOUR FIVE to disappear alltogether when viewing the report. Instead it will be displayed as: "Repeat above sequence times." Tested this with both Mozilla and Internet Explorer.
Additional Information	The text is stored correctly in the database and will re-appear when editing the bug. This sequence should probably be escaped. The page source result looks like: [Reproducing] Repeat above sequence times. </td> Which means that the php parser already seems to remove this. Tests 0000021:0000045 => <tilde>45 ~ 45 => <tilde> 45 ~AA => <tilde>AA ~GG => <tilde>GG
Tags	No tags attached.

pbijdens 2005-03-01 09:25 reporter ~0009402	Right. Tilde seems to be a shortcut to refer to a note in the database. Is there somewhere where this is documented? I searched the manual but could not find a description for the report page. Would be nice to know which characters to avoid.
