Created by Klaus Malorny (Klaus.Malorny@knipp.de) on Thursday, July 16, 1998 10:42:06 AM PDT Additional Details : Tooltips, which show the contents of the 'alt'- attribute of an image tag do not show an ampersand (&) correctly (eg <img src="..." alt="this & that">) I tracked the bug down to the file /cmd/winfe/cxwin.cpp line 3945: m_ToolTip->Create(CWnd::FromHandle(GetPane()), TTS_ALWAYSTIP); in addition to TTS_ALWAYSTIP, the flag TTS_NOPREFIX is required to avoid interpretation of "&" as a hot key marker (like those in menues) Updated by Garrett Arch Blythe (blythe@netscape.com) on Tuesday, July 21, 1998 2:54:03 PM PDT Additional Details : Bill, a tooltip problem.

Bill, what do we do with this bug?

Resolution: --- → WONTFIX
I checked in the fix, as I recall, but it's a moot point now, with the abandonment of the old code base. We should make sure we don't reintroduce this bug in the new code base, though.
