I'm sorry for posting a duplicate but in the other bug there's nothing for the "&" symbol. Will this fix resolve the "&" problem too?

As far as I can tell from the commit that fixes it, yes. Feel free to try again in a week or two once Frameworks 5.72 is released, and re-open this if it's not yet fixed with Frameworks 5.72.
