Ampersand (&) not recognized with keystroke

Here is the sample code I tested with using v.1.2 build 71114. When I click the value that contains “&” from the drop down, the value is alerted correctly. However, when I use keystrokes to select the value then tab out of the control, it alerts the option text.
Can someone please help me figure out why it’s doing this?












A & B
C D E
FGH
I.J.K
L&M
"NOP"
'Q’RS



Problem confirmed and fixed ( was caused by converting & to & )
Please use attached js file instead of original one.
