Description Andreas Köhler 2006-04-28 09:27:45 UTC 
GtkHTML version 3.9.92

Consider the following HTML:
<html><input value="&quot;moin"></html>

Expected: An entry with > "moin <
Observed: An entry with > moin> <

GtkHTML seems to unescape the entity nearly unconditionally, at least it should not do here imho. The result is a really strange parsing. For a use case, see bug 119040.

Bumping version to a stable release.
Comment 2 André Klapper 2017-02-09 13:33:36 UTC 
GtkHtml is not under active development anymore. 
Evolution (its main consumer) switched to a WebKit backend a while ago. 
It is currently unlikely that there will be any further GtkHtml development.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping (bug 778387) to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
