I didn't see this trouble before but when I updated my Zend with the latest 2.5.1 I see the very strange behaviour. All form elements show me Chines characters like this 킞톂킿톀킰킲킸톂톌 instead of Войти (Russian) e.g.

It happens only on windows platform, on Linux everything is ok.
My work environment is:
OS: Windows
PHP: 5.4.12
Site locale: ru_RU

I found this issue here - zend-escaper\src\Escaper.php in htmlAttrMatcher($matches) method

PS: For English everything is ok

@potkot I overrided exist escaper with my own. In module.config.php added:

'view_helpers' => [ 'factories' => [ \App\View\Helper\EscapeHtmlAttr::class => InvokableFactory::class, ], 'aliases' => [ 'escapehtmlattr' => \App\View\Helper\EscapeHtmlAttr::class, ] ]

and created new helper:

namespace App\View\Helper; class EscapeHtmlAttr extends \Zend\View\Helper\EscapeHtmlAttr { protected function escape($value) { return htmlspecialchars($value); } }

The correct solution is to pass in utf8 strings, as expected. A test case is needed if this persists.

@smilingcheater Thank you very much! Working solution!

No, that's a workaround, and an un-proven one.

Write a test please, then the workaround can be verified against the existing test suite and the new test.
