Description
The Markup/Markdown text of an issue-description placed in Bitbucket's built-in issue tracker (including this very one, that’s used for Bitbucket’s site itself) will load back for editing in a corrupted form if text contains characters such as greater-thans, less-thans, ampersands, single quotes, or double quotes. Submitting without making any changes in the text-box (for instance, just changing the issue-title) actually causes changes in the description because the reverse conversions do not occur, and the entity-codes are taken as literals. This causes further corruption on later edits because the new ‘&’s are then converted into &}}which is then (on next edit) converted to {{&, etc.
Browsers used:
- Firefox 60.6.1esr
- Chrome 73.0.3683.103
- Firefox 67.0 (Quantum)
- Chrome 64.0.3282.167
Operating systems used:
- Windows 7 Enterprise
- Windows 10 Enterprise
To reproduce:
- Using one of the above browsers, create a new issue using Bitbucket’s internal issue-tracker.
- Into the description, paste the contents of the attached markdown file.
- Save the issue.
- Return to the issue you just created and select “Edit”.
- Note that occurrences of the above-listed characters will appear in the editor itself as their HTML-entity representations e.g. '.
- (optional) Saving the document will result in these entities being saved literally, even if the user took no actions to change the description, but instead changed the issue-status, title, or other.
