When displaying htmlentities like "{" inside a textarea, firefox treats
them different if they are between quotes or if they are alone. Two examples:

inside a textarea, this is displayed as a curly brace:
>font size="2"< {TEMPLATE_VAR} >/font<

inside a textarea, this is displayed as the curly brace keycode:
>font size="2"<{TEMPLATE_VAR}>/font<

I think that the right behavior is the first, converting keycodes in its
equivalents, well?

sorry about my english ;-)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
The 2 examples below well posted :-)
