[request-tracker-maintainers] Bug#412872: request-tracker3.4: Queues with names containing ampersands appear empty

[Matt Peperell]

Package: request-tracker3.4
Version: 3.4.1-2
Severity: normal

If a queue name contains an ampersand then the link to the queue under "quick 
search" from the home page shows an empty result set.

To reproduce:
1) Create a test queue (without an ampersand symbol) and add a ticket to it.  
2) Verify that you can view the queue content with the link to the queue 
shown on the home page under "Quick search".
3) Rename the newly-created queue so that it contains an ampersand symbol.
4) Select that queue, again from the "Quick search" list of queues as
per step 2.

Desired behaviour:
The ticket(s) shown in step 2 above should be displayed.

Actual behaviour:
The page renders correctly but the queue appears empty, as though no
items exist in it.

In case it's of use, I note that the URL in the browser bar contains an 
unescaped & symbol.  If I change this to %26 then the queue is displayed
normally.

Thanks in advance.
