Using apostrophes (‘) in a table corrupts it

    Very nasty issue on version 1.10.20. If someone uses an apostrophe (‘) in the table and tries to save it, it generates a mysql exception and corrupts the table entirely. You end up with a table having all the rows till the one with the apostrophe, and repeated 3 times. All other rows are lost. I had to restore a backup to retrieve the data.

    Thanks @trsupsys, I’m not looking for support. My goal was rather to inform you and other users of that issue which causes data loss. I was able to restore a backup of the table.
