'Modify post' button does not work for Cyrillic characters

[onzi]

Hello. If you try to write something in Cyrillic and then to edit the post, the result is unreadable. To reproduce the issue:
1. Answer with e.g. "АБВабв" (first three letters in Cyrillic, caps and small)
2. Save and click on "Modify message" button (the one for inline editing, which is marked with this image: )
3. Click on "Save", no need to change anything
4. You receive "%u0410%u0411%u0412%u0430%u0431%u0432"

Don't know where exactly the problem is, probably some encoding/decoding problem. In topic.js, modify_topic_save() there is

Code Select Expand

x[x.length] = 'subject=' + document.forms.quickModForm['subject'].value.replace(/&#/g, "&#").php_to8bit().php_urlencode();

and in script.js, sendXMLDocument() there is

Code Select Expand

oSendDoc.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');

I think that's a known bug with quick modify, and actually happen's here as well.

Testing: %u0410%u0411%u0412%u0430%u0431%u0432

Yup. Happens here as well.

Did not find relevant topic, that is why I opened a new one.

%u0410%u0411%u0412%u0430%u0431%u0432


yes, same here - you see result of 'quick modify'

The fix is planned for 2.0.18, https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=571082.msg4042818#msg4042818
