[BUG REPORT] Bug or just known quirky behaviour

[garyjmilne]

Hi Bruce @bravenel , I read this is how I'm supposed to report issues so here I am.

This is more platform general than app specific.

I have a text box as shown in the graphic below.

If I enter that populated text field and then hit Enter or Tab out without edits, it remains unchanged.

If I enter that text field, makes edits and then hit Enter or Tab out it replaces the < sign with the HTML code equivalent <

If I query the value of the field it reports as it should, but as this is the value that the user sees it is highly undesirable to have that be inconsistent with the "real" value. Oddly it does not seem to care about the > symbol.

Thanks for listening.

The platform scrubs HTML from text inputs for security reasons. The < looks like HTML, and the scrubber is not very clever. Easiest solution would be to get away from using < in what you're doing.

That doesn’t work which I’m sure is a good thing.
