I just upgraded to FCKEditor 2.6.3. I'm using it with MediaWiki 1.11.1. I'm having a problem when adding a link to text in the FCKEditor interface. When I type in a search term to bring up an existing page, the first item in the list of pages in the Automatic Search Results is preceeded by a square character. The square character appears only next to the first item in the results list whether there's one result or 100. If I select the item preceeded by the square, the link doesn't work. If I look at the Wikitext, the link is displayed correctly. However, if I look at the HTML, it will look like this:
<a href="/wiki/index.php?title=%EF%BB%BFSenior_Staff_Meeting_Agenda&action=edit" class="new" title="Senior Staff Meeting Agenda">Senior Staff Test</a>
Because these characters:
%EF%BB%BF
preceed the link, clicking on the link doesn't take you to the correct page.
If I select any other link in the list (when there are multiple links), it links the page correctly. This only affects the first link in the list.
Any ideas?

Re: Square character appearing in lists of links
The EF BB BF sequence is what's called Byte Order Mark, which is sometimes added to beginning of files to indicate that the file content is in UTF-8. Looks like your backend picks it up from a file.
