& as dir name and Tabs

[DrShark]

When you enter the dir named &, tabs displaying it as _
Not serious bug

This is a known limitation of the tabs - they interpret the & as a hotkey character. So if you have &a, it will be shown as underlined a. Unfortunately Tabs don't have the "ShowAccelChar" property to turn off this behaviour.

So why name "some&dir" displaying normal?

Ah, interesting - I checked that: TC was already replacing all & by && to correct the Windows problem, but only if the & was followed by another character. I assumed (incorrectly) that a & at the end of a string wouldn't be converted to an underline by Windows...

Please do the same for the custom selection shown in the menu Show. See point 2) in this post.

Well, this shows, working in Windows (or Unix) environment, again :
Don't use certain characters in file- or dir-names, because it's asking for trouble.

Sorry, currently this isn't planned. Maybe in a later release.

The original issue should be fixed in RC5, please test! The menu Show has not been changed, though.

Confirm fixed the issue with '&' in tab title in TC7rc5.
