900177 - Escaped HTML entities are being removed in snippet editor.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Snippets :: Service, defect)

Description

[Osmose [:osmose, :mkelly]]

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new snippet that has an HTML entity in it, like `&`.
2. Save the snippet and open it for editing again.

Expected: The snippet code as you entered it will be shown in the textbox again.

Actual: HTML entities, like &, will be unescaped in the textbox. For example, `&` will become `&` and cause XML validation errors if you try to submit it without fixing it.
