Description Luca Zorzi 2009-03-08 20:08:13 UTC
Version:           1.2.1 (using 4.2.1 (KDE 4.2.1), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.27-13-generic

I enabled "Copy to" and "Move to" menus in Dolphin (I use the Italian translation of KDE, so these names might be inaccurate), since I find them very useful.

I noticed that in KDE 4.2.1 an issue with the '&' character not showing in Dolphin tabs was corrected, and I can confirm that it is, but I noticed that the same issue is present when a directory with a '&' in its name is present in the copy to/move to menu. It is just not shown, it's not replaced by any other char.
In my case, I have an "HTML & xo" folder that is shown as "HTML  xo" (note the double space, so only '&' is missing.

Here is a screenshot showing the solved bug in tab name and not solved in copy to/move to menu

Comment 1 Frank Reininghaus 2009-03-08 20:51:12 UTC
Thanks for the bug report!

The problem is very similar to the tab title bug (bug 181765): a '&' in the title of a sub menu is misinterpreted as an indicator that the following letter should be a keyboard shortcut.

An approach which is similar to the fix for the other bug fixes it for me, see below. I'll CC David because he wrote the code for the "Copy To"/"Move To" menus.

I think this could be written in one line with
subMenu->setTitle(menuTitle.replace('&',"&&"));
No need for if+indexOf (which ends up making the code search for '&' twice).
