Text elements (message, comment, contact, etc.) of an event may contain ' and ". The previous Event Console had troubles evaluating these event. Some shell scripts even got stuck..

For example: TEXT=my"text
Shell script: echo $TEXT$ > /tmp/mylog
The actual command looks like echo my"text > /tmp/mylog -> broken command.
