It so happens that I have some pages in which I frequently use HTML entities. Since I upgraded to WordPress 2.3, when I try to edit such a page, all those entities are gone and replaced by their plain text counterparts. So all that escaped HTML I use so often is suddenly unescaped. :?

Now as long as I don’t save those pages I’m fine. But this kind of makes it impossible to edit such pages. Pretty annoying.

So I first went to the WordPress support forums to ask for advice. Seems someone else had a similar problem, but the other way round. That ultimately turned out to be a misbehaving plugin, but my problem wasn’t solved with that.

So this night, a new ticket was opened in the WordPress trac, giving my problem official bug status. :P Let’s just hope they fix it soon.

Update

This bug was squashed in version 2.3.1.
