The status line and the context menu render solution names, paths and applier
messages, and WinForms reads an ampersand in any of those as a mnemonic. A solution
named R&D produced "Accept all in R_D" - with D live as an accelerator, so a
keystroke meant for something else ran an accept-all.

The status Label turns mnemonics off. Menu items have no such switch, so the
ampersand is doubled, which is how a literal one is written.
