Description:
------------
Hello,

if you use UTF-8 chars in a bug report or comment, the chars are changed to html entities (correct). But the reports and comments are placed between <pre> tags, and so a browser shows the entities and not the UTF-8 chars.

This is a problem, because you can't see if a bug reporter is using entities or UTF-8 chars in the report. So you can have a lot of confusion. An Example can be Bug #43148.

Regards,
Carsten

Correction:
There is a double encoding. Instead of e.g. a "&#1051;", there is a "&amp;#1051;" in the HTML.

Just a note to clarify that the <pre> tags are NOT part of the problem.

This bug has been fixed in SVN. Since the websites are not directly
updated from the SVN server, the fix might need some time to spread
across the globe to all mirror sites, including PHP.net itself.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP.net better.
