Description Oliver 2009-12-30 18:46:39 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.3)
Compiler:          gcc (Gentoo 4.3.4 p1.0, pie-10.1.5) 4.3.4 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

A "&" in a track title (like 'Take a Bow (Tony Moran & Warren Rigg Remix)') is displayed as "&amp;" in the lyrics title in the context browser.

Tested with Amarok 2.2.1 and 2.2.1.90 (2.2.2 Beta 1).

commit 8faa6e1454524b604d4114a65b1f86d0e3ee01f3

    Fix lyrics applet title and ampersands
    
    Commit bc32723 introduced a regression. While the current track applet
    will now correctly show special characters (which was broken by an even
    earlier commit 3d3a77f), the lyrics applet now suffers from the same
    issue. This fixes that by allowing a particular text format to be set
    for the TextScrollingWidget, with plain text as the default.
