Names with single quote get backslash added

One of our clients has added themselves as a Place with the name Gabrielle O’Grady
Unfortunately, while this shows up correctly when editing their record and in the detail screen, in the listing and search screens a backslash is added by GeoDirectory …
Gabrielle O’Grady

I found this bug mentioned in another post (see below). I was unable to open and read the thread as I haven’t paid for Geodirectory membership – just got core and purchased two plug-ins.
Thanks Massimo

#1429 utf problem with accents – May 7, 2014
Hi, I have experienced a similar problem with single quotation marks, i.e. if I enter “Côte d’Azur” as a region, then each time I save the city, the system adds another backslash i.e. I get something like “Côte d’Azur” or “Côte d\’Azur” or “Côte d\’Azur”. I tried to hack the database city table to get it right, but then the Javascript code fails because of unbalanced quotes: region = ‘Côte d’Azur’;
Thanks. Best regards.
