Description Li Ding CLA 2006-10-12 15:49:08 EDT 
My graphical editor shows program resource. The program has quoted name such as "a&&b&c" and the name will also be displayed on properties view title bar. In title bar, & character is used to denote the mnemonic. It shows the name as "a&bc" where c has a underline. The name displays correctly in the diagram main canvas and outline tree view.

Is this not your parserProvider returning a string with a mnemonic when asked for getPrintString for your element?
Comment 2 Li Ding CLA 2006-10-12 17:17:44 EDT 
My parserProvider does return "a&&b&c". But the same string returns from provider is also used when outline tree view displays the node name.

Why is this a bug them?
Comment 4 Li Ding CLA 2006-10-13 09:46:25 EDT 
The bug is that the properties title should NOT treat & inside quoted name as mnemonic, ie, it should display the name as "a&&b&c". 

If application code escapes the &, the properties title may display correctly but the node name in outline view will be wrong because both share the same parseProvider.
