Blog titles with ampersands RRS feed

  • General discussion

  • My blog title has an ampersand (&) in it. When Live Writer publishes, the little status dialog doesn't escape the character properly, and thus displays it as a space+underscore.

    The bug may surface elsewhere in your UI, but I haven't tested yet. (Windows Media Player is rife with similar ampersand issues - I hope you can raise the bar).

  • The blog button/menu at the top right of the UI has the same problem.

  • As does the blog name on the far right of the status bar.

    So you can see the blog title rendered incorrectly in 3 places at once when the publish dialog is visible!

  • Still ampersand issues all over the WLW UI in the 14.0.8089.726 release.

    Is this code-base dead?
