When a string containing a   entity is displayed by Javascript in an alert window, the entity is not interpreted, but written litteraly.

Example (occuring when taking a quiz attempt with a time limit, in french language):

$string['confirmstarttimelimit'] = 'Le temps pour effectuer ce test est limité. Voulez-vous vraiment le commencer ?' (quiz.php in french language pack)

• function addslashes_js($strconfirmstartattempt) is called in /mod/quiz/accessrules.php (line 684)
• var $strconfirmstartattempt is defined by calling print_start_attempt_button() (line 204)
• function confirm_start_attempt_message () is called by print_start_attempt_button()
• function getstring is called by confirm_start_attempt_message() (line 319)

This could maybe be fixed by calling html_entity_decode() on the string before addslashes_js().
