Paul Foxworthy commented on OFBIZ-4042:
---------------------------------------
If someone wants to fix this by simply changing the non-breaking space to a
plain space, I have no objection.
> ecommerce keyword search - Non-breaking space displayed as literal
> ampersand-nbsp-semicolon

> Key: OFBIZ-4042
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-4042
> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: specialpurpose/ecommerce
> Affects Versions: SVN trunk
> Reporter: Paul Foxworthy
> Priority: Minor
>
> On demo site, navigate to
> http://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/ecommerce/control/main. In Search Catalog
> box on the left, enter a keyword that isn't in the product descriptions, such
> as "notthere", and click on Find. The results page,
> http://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/ecommerce/control/keywordsearch, displays
> a list of "X" buttons, which would exclude some search results if there were
> any. Beside each "X" button is a sequence of an ampersand, the letters "nbsp"
> and a semi-colon. When I do a View Source in my web browser, the sequence is
> the HTML ampersand entity, then nbsp, then a literal semicolon.
> Obviously something is HTML encoding what was originally intended to be a
> non-breaking space. I can see the non-breaking space entity in
> applications/product/webapp/catalog/find/keywordsearch.ftl .
> Of course it is necessary to HTML encode any untrusted data coming from the
> client side to guard against cross site scripting attacks. I don't see why it
> is necessary to HTML encode the contents of a FreeMarker template, and I
> don't understand why this non-breaking space is being encoded, and not every
> occurrence of a greater-than or a less-than in the template.
