The calendar's "Edit Event" dialog shows corrupted text in the Description field.

Observed behavior:

  • When editing an event, the Description field displays garbled or corrupted characters.
  • The text appears as random symbols and dots instead of the actual event description content.
  • The attached screenshot shows the issue in the Edit Event modal.

Expected behavior:

  • The Description field should display readable text clearly.
  • Text encoding should be handled correctly without corruption.
  • Event descriptions should render properly in the edit dialog.

Classification:

  • Type: bug
  • Area: Calendar / event editing / text rendering
  • Severity: medium
  • Impact: Users cannot read or properly edit event descriptions

Fixed in spikersoft-angular PR #33 (merged to master). Calendar event title/description/location are now HTML-entity-decoded on load so backend-encoded text renders readably. Closing.
