[Bug 774588] [NEW] recent change in Utils.websafe() breaks Japanese (and other double-byte language) texts
Public bug reported: Utils.websafe() escapes characters like < and >. Recent change in this function added 8bit characters like \xbc and \xbe as 'dangerous' characters. This breaks Japanese text display because they appear as a part of double-byte characters. Because these characters are only 'dangerous' for old browsers, I suggest reverting the change or at least making configurable whether the site administrator apply changes or not. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/774588 Title: recent change in Utils.websafe() breaks Japanese (and other double- byte language) texts
