What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Enter a broken character entity in code such as &ldqou; instead of &ldquo;
2. Try to book view or save

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I would expect (like to see something like the advisory for an unclosed tag 
(with or without offer to fix automatically); what I do see is "Premature end 
of document" red box and the place in the code version of the document is lost.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.7.3; Windows 7

Sigil can't guess what you meant to type. The warning message is from the QT software and can't be changed. You can use the Special Characters or Clips features to insert special characters without typing them out.
