Truncation of last letter in modified permalinks?

[joshuamcgee]

Hi,

Anyone else seeing a problem that I can duplicate via the following steps?

1. Type a title for a post
2. Move to the text entry box, populating the Permalink edit field
3. Modify the permalink to something that ends with "n"
4. Publish

When this happens, I end up with a permalink with a truncated last letter. For instance, if I enter "some incantation", I get a permalink ending in "/some-incantatio/"

Other terminal letters fail sometimes, but (among my samples) 'n" always does.

There can't be something ridiculous, along the lines of a regexp ending in /.*n$/ instead of /.*\n$/ or something, could it? Or some PHP/JS parallel of a chop/chomp problem?

If this is a repost, sorry.

Cannot duplicate on 2.7.1 or trunk as of this writing.

Do you have mod_security enabled? How about a plugin that could be effecting this?

Replying to markjaquith:

Drat. Neither can I, at this moment. It does happen, though. Close if you must, and I will try to find a more reproducible scenario.

Thanks.

Hint: try non-utf7 chars. I've seen similar things happen too -- and not just for a single letter -- with foreign chars while looking into a separate ticket.

I had picked them up on the pravda's site, in case you need varieties of test cases. it doesn't happen with all chars, but it definitely happens with some.

moving this to Future, pending more information
