Description Flavio Donze CLA 2011-06-06 05:06:41 EDT 
Build Identifier: 1.4.0.20110601-1304

Here is an example snipped:
IManagedForm managedForm = new ManagedForm(parent);
ScrolledForm scrolledForm = managedForm.getForm();
Form form = scrolledForm.getForm();
form.setText("TEST1 & TEST2");

Only "TEST1" is displayed, the rest is cut off. If I replace the & with something like #, "TEST1 # TEST2" is displayed.

Reproducible: Always

Flavio, if you want to visualize the '&' character you should use double '&' in the string like:
form.setText( "TEST1 && TEST2" );
Read Label#setText JavaDoc for more details. Nevertheless, text cut off (wrapping) is a bug. The space for the label (calculated by Label#computeSize) is smaller and the text wraps.

Ivan thanks for pointing that out! I didn't notice that in the RCP application it didn't get displayed as well.

I found that actually this bug is a duplicate of bug 371360. A single '&' character is replaced with a space, resulting in multiple spaces between words.
