 * Hi,
    recently I have encountered a recurring error with event duplication. Some
   events, when duplicated, create an error (see enclosed image), which doesn’t 
   hinder the duplication itself, but its functionality. The fields that contain
   the error, and all that go chronologically after them, do not get duplicated.
   With multiple tests and trials, I have narrowed it down to a single cause: the
   error gets triggered when there is an apostrophe (‘) either in the title or description(
   or possibly any other field). Seems like a wrong input escaping problem to me.
   I have tried disabling all plugins and switching to default theme to no avail.
   Tested on latest version 5.12.1.
