getting this odd error in the title bar when there is an " & " symbol. its being converted to an underscore " _ " such as windows 32bit menus do for for creating short in a menu.

e.g. in AutoHotkey menus syntax this file name would need a double " && " to show a single " & "

Code
menu, musicbee, add, Loren Nerell & Mark Seelig, 
would show " Loren Nerell  _Mark Seelig ", as musicbees title bar is showing now.

while
menu, musicbee, add, Loren Nerell && Mark Seelig,
would show " Loren Nerell & Mark Seelig ",  would correctly show a single & with its own escape character


the tag for artist:  Loren Nerell & Mark Seelig


nothing to earth shattering haha, thou i still  grab the window title with autohotkey to search my library with everything so it throws it off a bit.

i dont think i can help as MB is setting the correct flag to process the & character, and its not an issue i can reproduce. I am guessing you are using some sort of custom implementation for the windows caption bar

Hmm yeah that could make sense.

I'm using this

And more so, using winaero tweaker to change the font of the title bar. Segoe UI is bllaah. Thou I do get the & in other window tiltes bars like explore, dopus & everything even on that same file.
