Double quotes in the Short description or Long description field break markup in the Experience Editor


Description

The issue might occur when using double quotes (") in the Long description or Short description fields under the Help section of template items. Browsers ignore the double quote characters, and they are treated as non-escaped ones, which breaks the markup. The issue is not reproducible if double quotes are escaped like this: \" or &quot.
