Comment:

 Replying to [comment:4 audrasjb]:
 > Moving to component `Administration` as it looks like the bug will
 probably occur on each JavaScript confirm or alert box of the WordPress
 admin.

 I think the issue is about that specific string in [source:tags/5.8.1/src
 /wp-admin/includes/image-edit.php?marks=252#L250 wp-admin/includes/image-
 edit.php]. As noted in the ticket description, other similar strings are
 displayed correctly.

 I was able to reproduce the issue with that string in the latest Microsoft
 Edge version using these steps:
 * Switch to the fr_FR locale.
 * Open an image in Media Library for editing.
 * Make some changes and click the Cancel button.
 * Note the ` ` entities in the message.

 The string is retrieved for displaying using the jQuery `.html()` function
 in [source:tags/5.8.1/src/js/_enqueues/lib/image-
 edit.js?marks=896-898#L879 wp-admin/js/image-edit.js]. Replacing `.html()`
 with `.text()` fixes the issue in my testing.
