Passolo TMX Export and "&" characters

Hi, 

Not sure if this is a product bug or documentation issue. 

I have a regular HTM file imported into Passolo using the standard parser and is 100% translated. 

If I use the "Export to TMX" functionality, I have noticed that instances of "&" are removed from the TMX file generated.

For example, the Passolo source segment:

If you apply grouping to the PROFIT&LOSS 3 column in Table 1, the following results are displayed:

Is exported to TMX as:

<seg>If you apply grouping to the PROFITLOSS 3 column in Table 1, the following results are displayed:</seg>

It turns out that the reason for this is the settings for the "Export Formats" dialog. The "Keep access keys, shortcuts and newlines" checkbox needs to be ticked. The "&" character is removed from the TMX if unticked, and kept in the TMX if it is ticked.

Of course, I originally left it unticked as my usage of "&" is nothing to do with these items.

I suspect the "Access keys" part is applied globally to all files being exported, when in reality it only is intended for use with UI parsers?

Thanks

Mark
