Sitecore cannot save in Experience Editor special characters

The website is component bases website. In a component I have rich-text and inside of that I have something like 70%. After I add the component to the page the save on the page does not work anymore.

Does someone had an issue like this before?

This post fixed for me. Note I'm using Sitecore 8.2 Update 2

My error:

After parsing a value an unexpected character was encountered: {. Path 'scLayout', line 1, position 2246.

http://jockstothecore.com/experience-editor-error/

postServerRequest: function (requestType, commandContext, handler, async) {

    function normalizeDeviceProp(d) {
        if (typeof(d) !== "object")
            throw new Error("Unexpected presentation details XML: cannot find device property");

        if (d instanceof Array)
            return d;

        var normalized = [];
        normalized.push(d);
        return normalized;
    }

    var token = $('input[name="__RequestVerificationToken"]').val();

    // Custom Brainjocks code to fix Experience Editor error.
    var ajaxData = unescape(JSON.stringify(commandContext));
    if (commandContext && commandContext.scLayout) {
        var obj = JSON.parse(commandContext.scLayout);
      if (obj && obj.r) {
          normalizeDeviceProp(obj.r.d).forEach(function (d) {
              if (d.r instanceof Array) {
                  d.r.forEach(function (r) {
                      var val = r["@par"];
                        if (val && val.length > 0) {
                            ajaxData = ajaxData.replace(unescape(val), val);
                        }
                  });
              }

            });
        }
    }

    jQuery.ajax({
        url: "/-/speak/request/v1/expeditor/" + requestType,
        data: {
            __RequestVerificationToken: token,
            data: ajaxData
        },
        success: handler,
        type: "POST",
        async: async != undefined ? async : false
    });
}

Looks like also other had same issue :

1) Replace the /sitecore/shell/client/Sitecore/ExperienceEditor/ExperienceEditor.js file of your environment with https://www.dropbox.com/s/fk5dhzywuln19t7/ExperienceEditor.js?dl=0

2) Replace the /sitecore/shell/client/Sitecore/ExperienceEditor/RibbonPageCode.js file of your environment with https://www.dropbox.com/s/vk0owx9gmihpgf0/RibbonPageCode.js?dl=0

3) Clear your browser cache.

This is a known issue, contact Sitecore Support and they will be able to provide a fix, reference 84051.

The fix is to edit a couple of Javascript files. In Sitecore 8.0 update-6:

/sitecore/shell/client/Sitecore/ExperienceEditor/RibbonPageCode.js

In the initialized function

replace ribbonUrl: this.PageEditBar.get("url")

with ribbonUrl: decodeURIComponent(this.PageEditBar.get("url"))

/sitecore/shell/client/Sitecore/ExperienceEditor/Sitecore.ExperienceEditor.js

In the postServerRequest function

replace data: decodeURIComponent(decodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify(commandContext)))

with data: decodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify(commandContext))

That sounds like an issue we experienced early this year, but the issue we had was fixed in Sitecore 8.1 Update 2. The public reference number was 84051.
