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?

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.
