Custom query changes when I save – extra backslashes

[Mats]

WP: 5.0.3
WP Masonry: 1.8
Theme: Catch Responsive

Hi! I’m creating a site for a music festival. We have different pages for different kind of bands. I use categories combined with “Custom Querys”. After update to WP 5.0.3 from 4.X there is a problem with the querys.

I create a new shortcode and type in the query. When I save it changes like this:

$query = new WP_Query( array( \’category_name\’ => \’Dans\’ ) );

became

$query = new WP_Query( array( \\\’category_name\\\’ => \\\’Dans\\\’ ) );

There is 3 backslashes instead of 1, and as a result the page show ALL categories.

What to do?

Thanx in advance!
