    Description

      When the application name contains an &, the "about" entry of the application menu is not displayed properly on Mac OS X. For instance if my application is called "Rock&Roll" in my info.plist the about entry will be "About Rock Roll". The & sign has disapears.

      In fact the & sign seems to be interpreted as an accelerator but it is not one in this case.
