Bug #51617	Funny (!) behaviour in list of EER diagrams when Name includes an ampersand

Description:
This is a minor UI/display bug - if a diagram contains an ampersand character in its name then the list of EER diagrams misbehaves and shows an incorrect label against the affected diagram.

From what I can tell, on loading the model it shows the label "Add Diagram" but on clicking/selecting that diagram and then moving the selection to another diagram it displays the newly-selected-diagram's label.

The bug doesn't seem to have any knock-on effects.  When the diagram is opened (as noted in the screenshot) the tab shows the correct name.

Obvious workaround:  Don't use ampersands in your diagram names.

How to repeat:
Description above might not make too much sense, will attach a screenshot that should clear things up.

The affected diagram in the screenshot is the first-on-the-left and its name SHOULD be "Games & Library" but its label in the UI has become "Security and Logging" when that diagram is selected.

Screenshot. Unexpectedly, as I took the screenshot and WB lost focus, the label reverted to "Add diagram"

If a diagram name contained an ampersand, the name was not displayed correctly in the Model Overview.
