I've tried cutting from Firefox 3, Konqueror and Akregator, and pasting into vi, kate and gedit, without being able to get "normal" double quotes. Some of the other chars are a bit weird also. Which browser / editor combination did you use ? Is there some way you can wrap the text in <code> tags to prevent introduction of these chars ? I really want to use the script !

I directly copied the code from the above post and it's working properly for me on Ubuntu Hardy. Are you perhaps running a different flavor of Linux? Paul,

The media uploader is just full of bugs. With 2.3 I also had some issues with linux handling the ajax and fixed it by editing some of the tinymce files, but of course all has returned with the upgrade. This version was definitely not ready to go public. I havent experienced the first two issues you speak of, but the image uploader, and ajax not working in linux really sucks.
