News module - strange behaviour

[Pierre M.]

Hello,

After having done some more testing, it seems that the trouble must be in the database tables.
(snip)my suspect is the database.

What about exporting the buggy tables, cleaning them, then reimporting the result ?
Could the filter just drop all backslashes ?
(my 2 cents)

Another idea : do all sites use the same charsets settings ?

If I had known where the problem is, this could have been an option.

It it not too difficult to clean the tables where the problem is visible. I can edit the content in the *_module_news table to clean it. By doing this after the news item is written, I can get rid of all the backslashes. As long as i do not edit news items with CMSMS, they work. But this is not how it should work.

Yes, they are all using utf8.

And what about upgrading the News module to new 2.6.x ?
Another idea : the database driver. Have you tuned something there ? full AdoDB ? adoDB lite ?
I'm getting short on ideas about your issue.
