Use of ampersand in Recent Files list

Postby Phi » 11 Jul 2013 14:18

Hey folks
This is relatively easy fix; in the Recent Files list under the File menu, any use of "&" in the file name will result in an underline of the next character, as the OS interprets that as "What to press when you hold Alt to quick-select this menu item".
I'm fairly certain it's not OS-specific, but I'm using Windows 7. Nightly build still has this issue.

To fix this bug, simply replace the "&" with "&&" in the recent file list. This overrides the OS's choice of the Alt key and will show one "&" as normal.

Cheers, Phi
