Description Kevin Doyle CLA 2013-10-03 09:27:59 EDT 
When opening a file that has an & in the name, the editor tab does not show the & instead the next character in the name is underlined.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a general project.
2. Create a file in the project with name TEST&ING.
3. Open the File and notice the editor tab does not show the name correctly.

& is the standard mnemonic character (it identifies the next character as a mnemonic in labels, tabs, and menu items).

It might be possible to escape it for editor tabs.

Fixed with http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.ui.git/commit/?id=02bb7ab7f9178a670d9cc09c49a100650e20c8cb

This also fixes the tool tip and the message in the 'Save Resource' dialog.
