Steps to Replicate

  1. Log into Blackboard Learn SaaS environment with Ultra Navigation enabled as System Admin

  2. Create a test course and enter it

  3. Create new content area (e.g "testing")

  4. Close the course

  5. Navigate to course again

  6. Edit the link that was created before and add an '&' ampersand sign and write something after the '&' sign. (e.g "testing & links")

  7. Save

  8. Select the content link

  9. Check the breadcrumb navigation

Observed Behavior:
The '&' ampersand sign in the breadcrumb navigation is changed to:
"testing & links"
