Description
Question type = short answer. Expected student answer contains an apostrophe.
If student types expected answer correctly, when pressing Submit, the apostrophe is escaped; however, the answer is considered correct. When student further submits page, the apostrophe is again escaped, resulting in 3 backslashes added, and ... the answer is considered Incorrect.

The issue is indeed solved for the SHORTANSWER question type. Thanks.
Unfortunately the problem persists in a SHORTANSWER which is embedded in a CLOZE question, e.g.
Rewrite "the book of John" using a genitive {1:SHORTANSWER:~%100%John's book#ok}
When student enters "John's book", the displayed output is "John\'s book", with an added unwanted backslash. And each subsequent click on the Submit page button adds more backslashes...
