(It will be shown underlined then.)I think this is specific to w32. Yes & needs to be escaped there.I hope you mean that Emacs or Emacs W32 should do the escaping. These binding indications are added automatically.An example: "&Help" will show "Help" in the menu with "H" underlined. So fixing this is a w32 specific problem.I think I fixed this in CVS (trunk and branch); please try. Btw, there's a much easier way to demonstrate the bug: just create a buffer called, say, "foo&bar", then click "Buffers" from the menu bar.
Unfortunately I do not think that is the right change. This totally spoils the possibility to use accelerators for the menus on w32. I do not think the minor problem it solves justifies that.
I think the change should be reverted and added back later when it is clear how menu accelerators should be supported in Emacs.
Maybe this is the time to add a new field to _widget_value for this? The reasonable value is in my opinion the position for the accelerator within *name.
Then of course something with a name like :accpos could be added for use with (menu-item ...) when definining menus.
