In Bug 162209, SVN 825353, it is not acceptable that the change for "Strip ampersand characters from the text of standard top-level menu items". 

It's a "dirty" solution only for Western languages.

In Western languages, the shortcut key should be "O" in "&Open", after your solution, "Open" is OK.

But for East Asia languages, at least for us, Chinese(including simplified and traditional), Japanese and Korean should be same, it is not acceptable. We use "打开(&O)" for "&Open", after your solution, the users will confused about it, "打开(O)". It disables the shortcut key, but still displays the key for shortcut.
