Macro placeholder encoding error

[Thorsten B.]

Hi,

after upgrading from CentOS 7.3 to 7.4 i can see some strange behavior with the macro placeholder images.

The content is not wrong or has some issues but when i go to the edit mode then i get encoding error while rendering the macro placeholder images.

Like this (codeblock macro)

But i can use the macro and edit it without a problem. Also the content is saved to the database and can be viewed without a problem.

The only thing which happend during the last 4 weeks was an upgrade from CentOS 7.3 to 7.4.

I checked with a new CentOS 7.4 VM and a clean install of confluence but got the same misbehaviour.

Setup:

CentOS 7.4

Confluence 6.3.4

PostgreSQL 9.5

Nginx

>> locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

setenv.sh

CATALINA_OPTS="${CATALINA_OPTS} -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8"

admin/encodingtest.action

shows no error ==> everything is fine

Test-Setup with the same behaviour:

CentOS 7.4

Confluence 6.3.4 and Confluence 6.4.1

embedded H2 database

Nginx

Also tried to get the image without nginx and got the same result.

Install the system fonts and reboot the system

yum groupinstall fonts
reboot
