Description

User input is not escaped in all text fields by default (and the default is not configurable).

This leads to user entered text not being redisplayed correctly.

• You can replicate using the project from WICKET-3330.
• Just enter the text my½companyname and press enter
• The field will not redisplay the text entered properly
