Yesterday, I updated my blogs to WordPress 2.0.3, the latest version. Today, when editing one of my comments, I discovered an annoying bug: it added escape characters (backslashes) to all quotes or apostrophes. The only way to get the comment “right” was to copy it to the clipboard, delete it and add it again… which would be even more annoying if it wasn’t the most recent comment. It also added some weird “are you sure?” dialogs when editing comments.
So, I searched around, and there’s a plugin to solve these 2.0.3 annoyances (and which will deactivate itself automatically if the version isn’t 2.0.3). It’s called WordPress 2.0.3 Tuneup, and it fixes:
* #2760 “Are you sure?” dialog for comment editing no longer appears
* #2761 “Are you sure?” dialog no longer adds slashes to info passed through it
* #2764 After editing a comment, you are properly redirected back to your original location
* #2776 New in version 0.2: “Are you sure?” dialog for user editing no longer appears
* #2782 New in version 0.3: “Are you sure?” dialog for link editing no longer appears
* #2806 New in version 0.4: Deletion of links works when JavaScript is turned off
I’m using it now, and it’s working great.

WordPress comments have always been kind of wonky. Whenever someone tries to post code, it looks awful!
