    Description

      JIRA OnDemand - Text Display - Integers immediately preceded by the letter 'r' display as null strings

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create an issue
      2. Enter the following text into the Description field: "r12345"
      3. Submit the issue
      4. Enter the following text into the Comments field: "r12345"

      Expected Result:
      User-defined text displays as entered, with any Wiki Markup formatting applied

      Actual Result:
      The string does not display at all (null string) for either the Description or the Comments field

      Impact:

      • Developers are used to entering references to changes they make by referring to a specific commit revision
      • They are in the habit of writing this in the format: "r#####" (e.g. "r12345")
      • If they maintain this habit, JIRA currently does not display this crucial information

      Notes:

      • If you go back to edit the field, the text is still there
      • This appears to be a relatively new issue, I've only noticed it happening within the past week or so (current date is 27-JAN-2014); I feel like I probably would have noticed this behaviour sooner if it had been happening for a longer time
      • I have taken a look in the JIRA Admin panel and can't see anything obvious that could be causing revision references in this format to fail to display
      • The project affected can be found at warchest.atlassian.com
      • We have many non-default add-ons installed (FishEye, Cruciple), but we don't actively use any of them as far as I can see
