Strange Option Menu behavior on Windows

[Bob Sneidar]

There is a way to escape special characters like that in a menu. I believe you are using characters that have a special function in a menu, and this is confusing the menu. I do not know why it is not happening on OS X tho'. Read up in the dictionary on menus and see what you can find.
