    • Type: Bug
    • Resolution: Fixed
    • Priority: Low
    • 4.2
    • Affects Version/s: 4.1.5
    • Component/s: None
    • Environment:

      Confluence 4.1.5 - German language
      JDK 1.6.0_30 - 32 bit
      SuSE Enterprise Linux 10
      PostgreSQL 8.4.10

      When I use the "Insert Link" dialog to insert a link to an anchor with special characters (e.g. german umlauts), the link text contains HTML entities.

      Steps to reproduce:

      1. Create a new empty page
      2. Select "Insert --> Link" to display the link dialog
      3. Select the "Advanced" tab on the left side
      4. Enter the link: #Test für Anker

      --> The auto-generated link text is: "Test f&uuml ;r Anker"
      But it should be: "Test für Anker"
