this is not a bug. The ampersand serves as the way for users to customize the mnemonic for the action. They can rename actions and give them different mnemonics. No, they cannot rename actions. They can rename just names of menus and submenus (but not simple menu items!), nothing more. I see. But if "&" is displayed elsewhere and it's okay, then why not in Actions? AFAICT it is this way from the beginning of the IDE. The names of the actions indeed contain the '&' chars and are displayed as such. They are interpreted as mnemonics when displayed in menu. IMO this is just the way it is. Action names are displayed with embedded mnemonic prefixed by ampersand. Not a bug. closed |
