Description (last modified by dd32)

I work for a company developing a website using WordPress for a client on their own web hosting package (hostgator). We are using WordPress 3.1 so are up to date with the latest fixes.

I have noticed a bug with the post tag system. The system does not recognise symbols effectively. The website related to a management consultancy approach which defines people into one of 6 moods, the moods all use symbols as follows:

F+
F-
F~
T+
T-
T~

Given this information we wanted to create a tag cloud for them. However when tagging any post with the above moods the symbols are not accepted effectively.

Steps to reproduce:

1 - Create a new post (or use an existing post)
2 - Add the tag F+ to the post
3 - Publish / update the post
4 - You will see this tag works
5 - Add another tag ... for example F-
6 - Publish / update the post
7 - You will see the tag has not worked
8 - You can now add any of the F tags and tey are all taken as the first (F+) so the subsequent tags will now work

I imagine this problem has affected other users before but I could not find mention of it in another bug report or on the support forums so I hope this is a genuine bug and it's not wasting your time

You'll need to set a unique slug for the items manually, F+ F~ etc all sanitize to the same slug causing the odd issue you're hitting.

I'll leave this open for now to review it tomorrow
