Description:
------------
QF-Version: 3.2.4pl1

I found sth unexpected using a script like attached:

The default value in filed1 is set as
test value &, ü, ü

The output is:
test value &, ü, ü

So - why?
Weather you should pass htmlentite'd code - so it should return exactly the same as passed.
Otherwise you could pass code with special chars like ü, ß and so on. So it should be htmlentitied ();

What I'm getting at the moment is a mix of both and so I'm not able to have a output free of ü's.

But & is always replaced to & not bothering what's the next char.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
require_once("HTML/QuickForm.php");

$form = new HTML_QuickForm();

$defaultsArray = array('field1' => 'test value &, ü, ü');

$form->setDefaults($defaultsArray);

$form->addElement('text', 'field1', 'Test:');

$form->display();
