There's now a proposed patch for this problem. (Milan Crha 18/10).
Any chance of testing this and getting it adopted quickly if it works?
This is exactly the kind of bug that is confusing and disturbing to
'average users' but too easy for geeks to say "Just edit the html tag
out in the address bar, Luser". Which doesn't help Linux advocacy.
We're already stuck with enough (legal) problems getting people's MP3s
and DVD movies to play...
I also notice that in the body of emails from eBay the item names
(clickable links) also display the same symptom, with ampersands
expanded to & Likely the same underlying problem is causing this as
well, and only cosmetic, but worth checking that the proposed fix
addresses this too. If it doesn't, then something is still hiding there
ready to bite us!
