Wrong single quote entity code?

[plabadie@…]

In the class FCKeditor.java there is a metho HTMLEncode that is used to encode the initial text to be put in the editor upon display.

The straight single quote ' is encoded with entity '

However, in the java code, it is encoded with the entity ’ which is a ’ right side quote.

This does not cause only esthetic syntax chanfge. This causes FCKeditor's own generated Javascript code to fail. ( for example when you make a link that is to be opened in a popup ).

1) You save you popup link. Its ok. 2) You re-edit your popup link ( passes through HTMLEncode to be set as the initial text ). 3) You find out in the html source of the editor that the ' are tranformed in ’. Your text is corrupted.

Has this bug been fixed in the java package? the bugs in sourceforge are quite old.

Fixed in [1342] in FCKeditor#escapeXml according to ​this escaping symbols with Unicode codepoints now.

Works as expected, tested with

<FCK:editor id="EditorDefault">
Some simple ' hacks by Mike's <strong>abitions</strong> for &lt;, &gt; and " &#39;
</FCK:editor>

It may sound a little bit late to say that, but is this entity conversion needed? I don't see problems on having single quotes in the generated source.
