             Bug #: 32648
           Summary: Combobox dropdown displays character escape codes in
                    values instead of human-readable characters
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: any
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: SemanticForms
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
                CC: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified


If a combobox value is something like:

People's Republic of China

it will be displayed as:

People\'s Republic of China

If that value is then selected, and used as a value in the dropdown again
later, it will be displayed as:

People\\'s Republic of China

The combobox needs to recognize these character escapes and display them in the
correctly interpreted human-readable version, and also avoid repeatedly piling
them on with escaping the escapes until we get something that looks like:

People\\\\\\\\\\\\'s Republic of China
