 Hi Vincent,

 I've just tested this and it still occurs in XE 2.2

 I've used firebug to check what requests are made when filtering and the problem
appears to be caused by ampersands not getting correctly url encoded. Below is the get
request made to LiveTableResults when I use a filter of "test & test" on the
"council" row in the live table. The spaces get url encoded along with other
characters but ampersands do not.

  We're using xwiki 2.03 and text with
ampersands in it breaks the livetable filtering feature.

 Is there any fix to properly escape the text that gets entered into the filtering fields
on livetables or can anyone give me a pointer on where to start looking in order to fix
this?  
 AFAIK this was fixed in XE 2.2

 Thanks
