Details:

The ampersand character in the text of a label is used to specify mnemonic
keyboard shortcut. In Matlab, if the character that follows is a space, this
is disabled and the ampersand character is instead displayed. Screenshot
attached showing the difference between Matlab and Octave.


H = figure ();
uimenu (H, "Text", "A & B");
uimenu (H, "Text", "A &B");
