Link Title Ampersands (&) Render as &

To elaborate on this issue, when placing an ampersand in a link title, the ampersand ends up being rendered like this:

&

For example, entering a title like this:

Food & Beverage

Will be rendered like this:

Food & Beverage

I have the same, annoying, problem and I have not found a solution yet. I am using the stable 7.x-1.0 version

There's a quick solution in place from this thread:

Essentially, you're going to link.module and updating a line so that it parses HTML special characters like ampersands. It worked for me without much issue.
