In the "Available Plugins" tab of the plugin manager. HTML content is not displayed properly for plugins long description. I have 3 screen shots I'll attach which show the "Available Plugins", Installed, and Downloaded tabs with the same modules description shown. The modules description is wrapped in <html><head></head><body><!--description is in here...--></body></html>, and displays properly in the other tabs.

It seems a problem on Plugin Portal side. A generator of Plugin Portal Update Center may have escaped plugin description and Plugin Manager doesn't get HTML code but escaped HTML. PP UC contains for that plugin: &lt;html&gt;&lt;head&gt;&lt;/head&gt;&lt;body&gt; !--description is in here...--> &lt;br/&gt;&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html&gt; instead of <html><head></head><body><!--description is in here...--></body></html>. Install tab and Download tab display un-escaped description. => reassigned to Plugin Portal
A correction: PP UC should contain "<html><head></head><body> ... </h1> </body></html>" instead of "&lt;html&gt;&lt;head&gt;&lt;/head&gt;&lt;body&gt;...&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html&gt;" which is double escaped I guess.
Changing version to Phase 3 and target milestone to TBD.
Fixed
