[Bug 1424243] [NEW] notify-send doesn't show message body which contains ampersand (&)

 

Public bug reported:

If the message body contains the character ampersand (&), notify-send
shows the title, but not the message body.

It's easily reproduced running it with any message body containing &,
for instance:

notify-send teste 'this & that'

See the screenshot attached.
