Bug: Escape character added to Wifi pre-shared key (password)

On an XGS 107 using 18.5 MR1.

When inputting a pre-shared key (or password) for a Wireless network, an escape character is added to the password. I can't find any notes on this in the help or in the forums.

As far as I can tell, the two characters are:

\

and

' (apostrophe)

For example, if you enter the pre-shared key as abc'123 it will get recorded as abc\'123

Or, if you enter it as abc\123 it will get recorded as abc\\123

Meaning the Sophos will not accept the PSK entered, only the one with the escape character in it.

If you are coming across this issue, remove the \ and ' characters from your PSK's.

Cheers.
