Bug Description

Binary package hint: tomboy

Using Tomboy 1.4.2 (but behaviour also present in previous releases) on Ubuntu 10.10 32bit.

When a note contains a special character (such as < > ( ), etc), links in other notes become unlinked when text is added after the link.
To reproduce:

1. create a new note, name it: new note 1 <
2. create another note, "new note 2", and in the body write "new note 1 <". The link to the first note appears, as expected. However,
3. still in "new note 2", write something on the same line, after the entered text: the link disappears.

I can confirm this bug in the latest version (1.11.2). Renaming the note still causes it to not be linked if text added. Maybe has something to do with XML escaping?
