Re-titling to reflect the issue is running the GUI with KDE. Marking as "Won't Fix" since this seems to be overly hard, and really something that upstream should allow us to control.

Of course, we can not expect that KDE users know about this. On the other hand, I think there is nothing we can do in octave in order to fix this. Similar to the other bug, which results from KDE preventing any window decorations for qt dock widgets.

I'm not sure how any KDE user was supposed to know about that magic setting, but I tried it and it works. The title of the window through the Alt+Tab menu is now just "Variable Editor".

I just had a look into the code and I did not find any occasion where a "&" is added to the title strings of the dock widgets. However, I fount the following about a special behavior of KDE, which obviously adds an ampersand to the text of any qt object: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32688153/how-to-disable-automatic-mnemonics-in-a-qt-application-on-kde
Rik, Could you please test the workaround that is given in the linked thread? This should fix the "&" in all the title of dock widgets and tabs.

As I just reported on another bug report, when I detach the "Variable Editor" and then use "Alt+Tab" to cycle between windows the title of the window in the cycle windows menu is "&Variable Editor".
I also notice that if the window is docked and I press just the "Alt" key then all the possible shortcuts lightup. For the Workspace Window this is the second 'o' in "Workspace". For the Variable Editor this is the first 'V' in "Variable Editor". However, if I use the shortcut key nothing happens (presumably because these are not menu items that can be activated with Alt+Shortcut_Key). Even more annoying is if I use openvar to create a few tabs in the Variable Editor. After that, each variable like 'x' lights up when I use the Alt key.

No, it's not.

@Alexander: In the "General" settings tab, is the custom style selected for the titles of the dock widgets?

@Alexander: What version of Qt are you using?

Patch works for me. This is with Qt 5.6.1, KDE 5.36, cset 23970:37f3c4416f2e.

Correction: If I start Octave with the editor still being undocked, there's no ampersand. As soon as focus the editor window, the ampersand re-appears.
Also, this affects other dock-able windows as well. Maybe someone could try to reproduce this on KDE. This is on a freshly set-up VM, so I don't know what else could cause this.

The build just finished and I can confirm the ampersand is gone with the patch.

I pushed the changeset here:
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/c46791c20a73
It seems like the right thing to do anyway since it makes this widget consistent with the other dock widgets.

The "&" doesn't show up on Windows either.

Thanks, I'll try it tomorrow.

The ampersand does not show up on Ubuntu with Unity. I have compared the source of the variable editor with other dock-widgets and created the attach (simple) patch. Could you please try it on your system?
(file #41677)

The shown window title is "&Variable Editor"
This is on KDE 5.10.
