That's exactly how they are in Xtreme, so purposely so!

It's beginning to look like there's a bug with the measurement of text 
with embedded accelerator definitions and this seems to be the root 
cause of they 'paper size' combo issue. On my FC5 machine I'm also 
seeing most right aligned controls clipped at the right (see "save 
settings on exit" radio in general tab for example). By removing the '&' 
I can fix most of the problems, but obviously break the accelerator keys.
