Bug Description

I have a directory called "NESC & PSYO" -- but in baobab, it's displayed as "something else" -- where "something else" appears to be the name of any other directory beside the one being incorrectly displayed, or the parent directory. The text displayed switches back and forth, but is always incorrect.

Here's another screenshot showing a new directory I added called "test & more test", which I think points to the ampersand as the culprit.

This should show:

Dalhousie
├── PSYO & NESC
├── CSCI
├── electives
└── test & more test
