Code:
osd /time=3 /hcenter /font=40 This ^& That!

I think you're calling DrawText() without DT_NOPREFIX.


Priority: Millions are anxiously awaiting your fix to this earth-shakingly urgent bug! Or not.

You need to double the ampersands.

Per the DrawText() documentation, yeah. (And escape both ampersands, or strong-quote them or whatever.) But setting one more bit in the flags arg would disable this inappropriate feature.

And yes, I know that it's worked that way since day 1, and nobody has ever complained, or perhaps even noticed. Not hugely important, just a tiny improvement that would be trivial to make.
