I don't know exactly, why htmlspecialchars function is used in /bug.php (and other scripts of course, but I've focused on this one), but this function causes a problem with encoding of Czech Language special characters. For example ve have special 'hooked e' character, which is converted to something else by this function and displayed incorrectly with 'htmlentities' attribute in template bugdisplay.html.
