Bug Description

If you have one or more third party repository added, and you add another one with a comment containing & , the source will be displayed in the list as one of your other repos, making it appear as if you have duplicate entries. However, selecting the entry and clicking 'Edit' reveals that all the information has been correctly saved, and is just not correctly displayed.
