# Incorrect entity encoding

 * It looks like the labels on custom form fields are not being correctly encoded
   to HTML entities. In the admin if you enter the ‘ (apostrophe) character it is
   encoded to ' in the admin and ' on the front end. This causes a javascript
   error in the admin when you click the apply link while editing a custom form 
   field with that character in the label and I can see ' on the page when 
   it should be interpreted as an entity. That javascript error makes it so you 
   can’t edit the form field any more and it is stuck.
