I found the patch causing the problem (after long searching), but can't figure out what's going wrong without more data.

And an image on imgur is not optimal.

I can only guess it's a matter of escaping the message.

I could manually hack some s/// to do that, but I'm sure there is already a custom routine for that somewhere, which should be used for better maintenance.

Update

My best bet so far is using encodeHTML($shortened_msg,1)

<span class="msgfrom_113">
  <i class="msgfrom" title="Sep 16, 2024 at 19:56&nbsp;ADT"><a href="?
+node_id=113">root</a> says</i>
