Buglet in admin interface 'delete' view?

[Pryankster]

When trying to delete a model, the admin interface gives me a list of
related objects which will also be deleted. If the return value from
the __unicode__() method of those objects contains naughty
characters (in this case, it was just a single-quote) the naughty-
characters get escaped twice, thus the single-quote shows up as
"'". I.e., and object named "men's chorus" is printed (in the
delete screen) as "men's chorus"

I'm using 8252 from svn.

Could you show the code of your __unicode__ method?

[Pryankster]

it's pretty simple:

name = models.CharField(max_length=100)

def __unicode__(self):
return self.name

Note that the name appears correct in 'list' pages and in the edit
page for the item itself, it's just in the delete item for the
'parent' item where the display is messed up (which makes me think
double-escaping)

Yes you're right, the items are escaped twice, once in
admin.util.get_deleted_objects, and then in the unordered_list filter.
I've created a ticket and posted a patch. Could you try the patch and
see if it fixes the problem?

Yep. that did the trick -- I tried all kinds of nasty characters
<,>&#'" in the field values and it did the right thing.

Thanks!
