Bug: reserved characters being displayed as http entities #347

Open linozem opened 12 years ago

linozem commented 12 years ago

When someone I'm following writes a tweet with a character like & or < it shows up in Silver Bird as the corresponding http entity, e.g. & becomes & and < becomes <.

I submitted a pull request 326 to correct the angle bracket problems, but I've never noticed the & problem.

I see a spot in the locales.js where a replace occurs on the & char, does this only happen if SilverBird's language is set to something other than English?

I had the default locale set to "same as browser" when it happened. I'm using Chrome 18.0.1025.162 and have my language set to Canadian English. When I changed the default locale to "en", the problem went away.
