Summary	0008512: Ampersand in Custom Fields Error
Description	When I have a custom field with an ampersand within one of the options, it gets flaky as to selecting it, and being used as a default option. Default Option: Will not reference the item with a & in it, leaving it blank. General Reporting: Works fine for general bug reporting (can checkbox it with no problems), but when you go to edit the issue, it will not checkbox the item with the & in it. So if you don't catch it, you will blank out that checkbox, even if already marked.
Steps To Reproduce	Create custom field of checkboxes. Options: One\|One & Two\|Two Default: One\|One & Two Report an issue. The One & Two option will not be marked by default. Submit the report with all checked. Edit the issue: When you go in, the One & Two option will not be marked.
Tags	No tags attached.
