product edit adding extra backslashes

[Guest]

the situation is the client wants to have names like:

 

7" Floor Lamp

 

and descriptions like:

 

7" x 2" x 5"

 

When you go to edit the product, it will change it to:

 

7\" x 2\" x 5\"

 

Of course if you save the changes like this, it becomes:

 

7\\" x 2\\" x 5\\"

 

Is there any way to prevent it from showing the backslashes like that in the description editor in the first place to avoid this problem?
