The modifications were made by me, and apparently this has become something of a mixed problem. More than likely, anyone experiencing this problem is using my plugin mod. I apologise for problems people are having.
My original plugin release (what I called staticpages 1.3.a) did not add slashes, which caused problems for a number of persons, myself included, where non-slashed chars would disappear. The version 1.3.2 was meant to eliminate this problem, and it adds backslashes again. This however has resulted in many people experiencing the opposite problem, duplicating slashes each time a page is edited. This is being discussed in another thread:

xspace has some code listed that may fix the problem. I have been busy, but am now preparing to try and fix this bug for once and for all, if you would be avaliable to beta test a bug fix or me, please e-mail me at 'alexx a t eyedocgreg dot com'.
Again, I apologise for problems being experienced with this code. It seems to be somewhat sporadic, as it works correctly for many people, but not all. If anyone else has info about what might be causing this, please also e-mail me.
Thanks,
Exaurdon~
