    Description

      Steps to reproduce the bug:-
      1. Go here: http://doc.jspwiki.org/2.4/Edit.jsp?page=WindowsInstall
      2. Type in changenote: Testing "quotes" & ampersand
      3. Click preview
      4. Click Keep Editing
      5. The changenote looks like this: Testing "quotes" & ampersand

      Now the user has to remove it and type (Testing "quotes" & ampersand) again before saving. If the user didn't notice it, then the comment will be saved as "Testing "quotes" & ampersand" in the history.

      =================================================

      I know that entities need to be encoded for security reasons but this is a Bug.

      When "keep editing" button is clicked, the comment should appear in decoded format. For that, there should be a javascript that execute "after" the page is loaded. No need to change any of the TextUtil.replaceEntities() methods.

      =================================================

      This is how I fixed it in my pc:
      1. Added the following script to commonheader.jsp (or prettify.js)

      <script type="text/javascript">
      function decodeChangeNote() {
      document.getElementById("changenote").value =
      document.getElementById("changenote").value
      .replace(/&amp;/g,"&")
      .replace(/&lt;/g,"<")
      .replace(/&gt;/g,">")
      .replace(/&quot;/g,"\"");
      }
      </script>

      2. Changed <body> tag in EditTemplate.jsp to call this js function on load.

      <body onload="decodeChangeNote()">

      ====================================================

      Now JSPWiki works fine for me. Polish this fix if needed and commit it. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
