# Caption/title problem with … (three dots)

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for the latest update. However, I stumbled upon another bug while optimizing
   my WP-page. As mentioned in the [WP-source](http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-includes/formatting.php)(
   line 19), WP replaces … (three dots) with decNCR & #8230; (…). This causes a 
   difference between the title and the caption text, even if they are the same.
   Therefore, the title is displayed twice in the lightbox overlay. A similar bug
   is already solved in your source jquery.lightbox.js on line 194:
 * `captionText = $.trim(captionText).replace('& #8217;', '& #039;').replace('’','\'');//
   http://nickjohnson.com/b/wordpress-apostrophe-vs-right-single-quote`
 * Fixing this bug only requires adding one more replace()-part:
 * `captionText = $.trim(captionText).replace('& #8217;', '& #039;').replace('’','\'').
   replace('…', '...'); //http://nickjohnson.com/b/wordpress-apostrophe-vs-right-
   single-quote`
 * works well with my browser. I first tried to replace directly the decNCR with
   three dots, but that did not worked.
    Took me a few hours to figure that out.
   Hope it helps you improve your awesome plugin even more. Greets!
 * (remove the free space between & and #039; for the proper decNCR code)
