 Hi,

 Anyone else seeing a problem that I can duplicate via the following steps?

    1. Type a title for a post
    2. Move to the text entry box, populating the Permalink edit field
    3. Modify the permalink to something that ends with "n"
    4. Publish

 When this happens, I end up with a permalink with a truncated last letter.
 For instance, if I enter "some incantation", I get a permalink ending in
 "/some-incantatio/"

 Other terminal letters fail sometimes, but (among my samples) 'n" always
 does.

 There can't be something ridiculous, along the lines of a regexp ending in
 /.*n$/ instead of /.*\n$/ or something, could it?  Or some PHP/JS parallel
 of a chop/chomp problem?

 If this is a repost, sorry.

Comment(by markjaquith):

 Cannot duplicate on 2.7.1 or trunk as of this writing.

 Do you have mod_security enabled? How about a plugin that could be
 effecting this?
