& won't appear in toolTipText [message #440441]

I want to use an ampersand in a title on my SWT widgets - to do this I
needed to escape the & with another & - so anywhere I want one I put && in
the title.

This works fine - on Windows anyhow...

But I am not able to get & to show in a toolTip. If I create the title
with && and set the text it works, but when I set the toolTipText no &
appears. Is there another way to get an & to appear in toolTipText?

Also, is there another way besides && to get an & to appear in a widgets
display test on Linux?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Greg

Doubling the & should work on every platform. Enter a problem report if it
does not.
