Public bug reported: 13.04 is where this functionality broken. I've been using an application that does some pretty spectacular graphing/visualization using QtWebKit by inserting DIV's and modifying them using appendInside(). 12.04 and 12.10 do not exhibit this problem.
I'm not certain if this is a problem with QT 4.8.4 (12.10 uses 4.8.3) or if this is a problem with python-qt4 4.10.0 (12.10 uses 4.9.3). If I filter all the & characters before appendInsert-ing them, all works well (but layout is atrocious without the use of ). If I create a QString, I can get the data into the QString, but appendInsert( QString ) still doesn't work. Did libqt4 code include a new filter or something else that breaks with "&" symbols? Basically, if I allow the code to do QWebElement.appendInside("something with a & symbol") it's like I never called appendInside at all. Nothing changes. Help?
