OK, so to get this even clearer:

1. go to

components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbcore/cb.core.php and components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbcore/cb.connections.php

REPLACE all occurences of
htmlentities
with
htmlspecialchars


2/ go to comprofiler/comprofiler.class.php and around line 1420, replace function unhtmlentities with the one Elesus writes.

3/ at /components/com_comprofiler/comprofiler.php on line 1357 in the addConnection method:

.addslashes(htmlentities($cbCon->getUserMSG())).



change
.addslashes(htmlentities($cbCon->getUserMSG())).

with:
.$cbCon->getUserMSG().

OK, although this did the trick for the component, the CB login module continues to render the name of the user wrong.

Have you been using the advanced CB login to help the users of your site register?
have you noted this?

I use the CB login module which came up with the RC2. All the settings are in their defaults, so it displays only username.

But as I see it, you need to replace the code near the line 68 in the mod_cbloginrc2.php:

[code:1]if ( $name ) {
$query = "SELECT name FROM #__users WHERE id = ". $my->id;
$database->setQuery( $query );
$name = htmlentities($database->loadResult());
} else {
$name = htmlentities($my->username);
}[/code:1]

with:
[code:1]if ( $name ) {
$query = "SELECT name FROM #__users WHERE id = ". $my->id;
$database->setQuery( $query );
$name = htmlspecialchars($database->loadResult());
} else {
$name = htmlentities($my->username);
}[/code:1]

So it is again about replacing htmlentities with htmlspecialchars

You might also want to change htmlentities function into htmlspecialchars at line 1250( comprofiler.class.php ) to fix users list.

I tried to change the code as elesus prescribed but it only worked in back-end and loged-in for editing own profiles. Viewing the Userlist and profiles still incorrect. My charset is russian win-1251 (cp1251). Please help me out.

I compiled a version of CB with all the necessary modifications.
Let me know if it worked for you.

FYI, remember that all charsets, Database and index.php should be in sync.
