By default TextPrimitive renders the '&' character as an underscore on the following character, like a menu hotkey. I need to actually display an ampersand on the screen. I found that if I double the character ("&&"), the TextPrimitive displays the ampersand. However, it no longer sizes properly to the text it contains. I'm wondering if the TextPrimitive sizing code thinks the ampersands will cause underlines even though the rendering code draws an ampersand.

Hello Michael,
Thank you for writing.
I have managed to reproduce the described behavior. There is an issue with the text measure when you are trying to escape ampersand character. We are currently researching this in detail. If you do not want to use shortcuts binding you could avoid this behavior by setting UseMnemonic property of TextPrimitive to false:
