9189	add_magic_quotes now double-escaping post content when saving	filosofo	anonymous	"[10597] introduced the use of mysql_real_escape_string() in wpdb's escape() method.

However, when you save a post the content gets double-escaped, which means that line breaks are turned into {{{\r\n}}} and then {{{\\r\\n}}}.

The first escape is in wp-settings.php where applies add_magic_quotes() to $_POST.

The second is in wp_update_post() which applies it to the post content (wp_update_post() is called by edit_post()). 

Then wp_update_post() calls wp_insert_post(), which calls stripslashes_deep(), so we end up with {{{rn}}}."	defect (bug)	closed	highest omg bbq	2.8	General	2.8	normal	fixed
