In Folder menus and menus  like "Recent Folders" QAP fails to escape folder names, so that folder "A & B" appears in the menu as "A B" and folder "A && B" appears as folder "A & B"

So if a folder contains the following folders:

"A B"
"A & B"
"A && B"

A dynamic menu based on that folder contains the following:

"A B"
"A  B"
"A & B"

I understand this behavior for menus we explicitly create...but I don't think this makes sense for menus based on content we may have no control over.

Hi Scott,

I can reproduce it. Good catch. I hope we would have found this one before :-( 

I'll fix it in the next release. Thanks for reporting this.

Jean,

The issue is still present for Live Folders in 9.3.1.1.
