      Issue Summary

      This is reproducible on Data Center: Yes

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Access the Jira application > Dashboard 
      2. Access any available Dashboard
      3. Add a "Rich Text" gadget to it
      4. Add a title with ampersand (&) or less than (<) or greater than (>) character in it.
      5. Save the changes

      Expected Results

      We should see "&" symbol in the title

      Actual Results

      The & symbol converts to &amp; 

      Workaround

      Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available

      Notes

      Editing and saving without making any changes also adds another amp; to the & resulting in &amp;. this happens after each edit.
