Greenhopper JavaScript sets browser title incorrectly for ampersand '&'

XMLWordPrintable

      Greenhopper tries to display our project name, "Ticker & NLE", in the browser's title bar when on the Agile pages. But, the name is escaped so that it displays incorrectly. From the page source:

      <script type="text/javascript">
document.title = "Ticker &amp; NLE - Chart Board - Vizrt JIRA";
</script>

      This results in the text "Ticker & NLE" in the title. If I change the code to the following, it displays correctly:

      <script type="text/javascript">
document.title = "Ticker & NLE - Chart Board - Vizrt JIRA";
</script>

      Reproduction steps:

      1. Create a project named "This & That".
      2. Enable the project in Greenhopper.
      3. Open project in Greenhopper's Agile view.

      Expected behaviour: Browser tab displays "This & That - Task Board [...]".

      Actual behaviour: Browser tab displays "This & That - Task Board [...]".

            Hello,

            I have installed greenhopper 5.2.2.
            For all my project's which contains "&" in its name it is setting "&amp".
            I would say its not interpreting as html but as a string literal...
            Thx,
            Luís

            Note: Missing HTML-encoding makes the description display incorrectly.

            The Actual behaviour should be: Browser tab displays "This &amp; That - Task Board [...]".
