Can't add a task with apostrophe

hello,
I have the same problem with Task App (v1.3) and Ubuntu Touch 14.10 (r21) on my BQ Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition

Why are you assigning me this issue? I have nothing to do with that app...

Please undo, i dont need these bug update mails.

I think we all got emails for this... I was assigned in an email but loking here I don't see that. I'll look to see what I can see - but I've not looked at this part nor been involved in the project at all - just following it... Should not be difficult to resolve I hope - need to locate the original dev... Feel free to email me ideas on where to start.

I repeated the test case. Confirmed the user currently can't add an
apostrophe character as part of the task name.

Two current strategies:
-constrain the user by adding a character filter which will simply not
accept an apostrophe character in the input field.
-if we find apostrophe character's in the input field, we need to prefix
them with escape characters in the stored string.

Which one does everyone prefer?

Add the additional string input test to check for non alphanumeric and then set the various methods to escape and normalize. The seccond way is how I'd do it - where is this in the code? I'm new to this thread - I have several examples of how to normalize data input or simply insert the escape characters where needed - but I'm not sure where the processing is taking place so don't want to slow things down...
