[BUG] Translatable menu text of accelerator keys contains invalid characters. [message #56673]

Hello,

If accelerator keys with translatable ( with t_() ) text are used on GNOME, the menu text contain invalid character(s), See: reference/AK

Code:

void App::MainMenu(Bar& menu)
{
	menu.Sub(t_("AK"), [=](Bar& bar) { AkMenu(bar); });
	menu.Sub(t_("Setup"), [=](Bar& bar) { SetupMenu(bar); });
}

Screenshot:

index.php?t=getfile&id=6412&private=0

This occurs on other applications with translatable text (when Accelarator keys are enabled) as well.

Edit: This happens on menu items with translatable text, not defined in .key file (as is in the above example).

Best regards,
Oblivion.

It appears that tt_() macro can be used to fix this issue, as it does not prepend '\3' to string literals.

But I am not sure if this is a hack or officially supported....
