Description Philip Chimento 2007-11-21 22:06:25 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Character entities, like ", are printed literally in hyperlinks, not as the characters they are supposed to represent.

Steps to reproduce:
Here is a minimal program that demonstrates the bug:

#include <gtk/gtk.h>
#include <gtkhtml/gtkhtml.h>
int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
  gtk_init(&argc, &argv);
  GtkWidget *mainwin = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
  GtkWidget *html = gtk_html_new();
  gtk_html_load_from_string(GTK_HTML(html), "<html><body><a href=index.html>&nbsp;&quot;</a></body></html>", -1);
  gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(mainwin), html);
  gtk_widget_show_all(mainwin);
  gtk_main();
  return 0;
}

Actual results:
A window is displayed with the literal text:
&nbsp;&quot;
underlined in blue.

Expected results:
It should be a window with a space and a quotation mark underlined in blue.

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
This seems to have broken recently, because the version that shipped with Fedora 7 (3.14.3 I believe) didn't have this problem.

It works with current trunk (possibly as part of the fix to bug 485700).
