[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #49643] questdlg returns incorrect string with ampersand embedded in it (Qt5 only)

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #49643 (project octave):

Currently, if you pass in a string containing a double ampersand, e.g. "This
&& That", Qt represents it as a single ampersand instead of as an escape
designating the shortcut key for the button.

I guess if we want to be Matlab compatible we have to escape ampersands before
passing the string to Qt, and unescape on the way back. The Matlab help pages
do not mention any special behavior for ampersands that I can see.
