Bug in input text field in forms

Hi there
form input text field has a bug,
when i input <>. (not equal sign) this part is not saved when save html tags option is off.
apparently not equal sign is detected as a html tag, which is wrong.

Desired effect : <> should be normally saved with or without html tags option on.

this bug appeared in the recent versions as the expressions text was saved including ‘<>’ text before.
Now if I re edit text, ‘<>’ disappears from the text.
