Cyrillic characters encoding problem

[sabio]

Hi, there

I'm new to Mantis and run into encoding trouble when trying to use it.
When I use russian charactes in bug description/notes they are displayed as

Code: Select all

& #1057;& #1076;...

(I've inserted spaces after '&' to prevent forum engine replacing codes with corresponding symbols - so this sample is exactly what I saw, except for the spaces)

I've managed to workaround the issue by injecting the following code

Code: Select all

$p_string = eregi_replace( "&(\d*)", "&#\\1", $p_string );

into 'string_restore_valid_html_tags' and commenting some calls to 'htmlspecialchars'.

However, notification emails are still ugly. :( Moreover in emails #nnn is replaced with bug link so two characters from the first code block become

Code: Select all

&http://localhost/mantis/view.php?id=1057;&http://localhost/mantis/view.php?id=1076;...

What is the right way for fixing these problems?

P.S. Is there any way to make Mantis send HTML emails instead of plain-text ones? Then I could at least disable bug link substitution for emails and get readable messages even though characters remain encoded.

Could you please file this as a bug in the tracker at http://bugs.mantisbt.org/ ?
