I hope you mean that Emacs or Emacs W32 should do the escaping. These
binding indications are added automatically.
I am not sure I understand you, but & is the character you put before a
character in the menu string on w32 to mark that character as an
accelerator in menu. (It will be shown underlined then.)
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.
