      Description

      Ampersand, (&) does not display properly in custom menu items in Boost, it displays as &

      To reproduce this:

      With Boost theme active, add & and & into a menu item(s) in Theme Settings - Custom menu items

      Example menu items:

      Menu & 1|#
      Menu & 2|#

      Expected:

      & and & both appear as &

      Actual:

      In Boost, & and & both appear as &

      Switch to Clean or More, & and & both appear as &

      I've only tested this in 3.3.1 and 3.3.2.

       

      Update

      Note: sorry for the extra space when referring to & amp; I couldn't figure out how to get the code for ampersand displaying as the code in the tracker editor  it keeps wanting to change back to just the & character.

      Fix found for this thanks to Alex Christensen on the Atlassian JIRA community referring me to the solution ([https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-10967|https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-10967)] which is to add & just need to be careful as when returning to edit the extra amp; is gone and needs re-adding.
