Description Aurelien Pupier CLA 2010-10-27 03:02:25 EDT 
Build Identifier: 

In settings of the user,
if you put for instance:
"R&D Engineer" in the field occupation, the '&' is encodded as "&" and each time you login I think that the the & is reencoded so you will have "R&D Engineer"

Reproducible: Always

This is fixed in the latest version of the forum, which I am preparing for deployment.

ouch in fact not.
I didn't read my big report carefully.
There is still the same issue when login/logout/login.
If I just navigate between page of the forum and come back to Control panel without logout/login it works.

So this happens only on logout/login.

Indeed -- I've located the problem in our custom login plugin.  We attempt to refresh the local Forum account with the latest name and email address from Bugzilla.  I just need to find the best way to decode those encoded characters.
Comment 7 Denis Roy CLA 2011-05-12 14:31:35 EDT 
Ok, this is fixed for real now.  Since the browser was decoding the HTML entities naturally, there was no API for doing it in the forum code.  I added my own.

Ok, it seems really fixed now ^^

thank you
