Redmine

I installed a Redmine through Debian package and it accoured, that many settings inside "Settings" section are unavilable - they were HTML inputs code, but with special chars escaped. As I don't know ruby very much, I used workaround, to deal with that bug:

1. Open file \usr\share\redmine\app\helpers\settings_helper.rb
2. Prepend require 'cgi'
3. Search for def setting_multiselect() (line 39 in my case) and encase last part inside CGI.unescapeHTML() function like this:

  def setting_multiselect(setting, choices, options={})
    setting_values = Setting.send(setting)
    setting_values = [] unless setting_values.is_a?(Array)

    CGI.unescapeHTML(setting_label(setting, options) +
      hidden_field_tag("settings[#{setting}][]", '') +
      choices.collect do |choice|
        text, value = (choice.is_a?(Array) ? choice : [choice, choice]) 
        content_tag('label',
          check_box_tag("settings[#{setting}][]", value, Setting.send(setting).include?(value)) + text.to_s,
          :class => 'block'
        )
      end.join)
  end

I dunno why that function outputs html escaped string, but my workaround currently works, but I'm sure, there is deeper problem. Sorry, I currently have no resources to write down problem reproduction guide.
