If you have a folder containing an ampersand ('&') character, it is not shown in the path in the open resource dialog. See screen shot for an example.

org.eclipse.ui.dialogs.FilteredItemsSelectionDialog.DetailsContentViewer simply sets the text to the label ... in other places we escape '&'

Patch for FilteredItemsSelectionDialog

This patch adds the necessary escaping of ampersands. With this change the given example works for me.
