Hi, I don’t manage to create correctly categories with “&†for example “Europe & Asiaâ€, after created only shows the category number (ex. "48") and not “Europe-Asiaâ€.
I do have an option to choose a unique replacement for it in the 4.1 series, but that means you can't use the replacement anywhere in a name. "and" isn't a practical replacement since you're likely to type "and" in a category name someday. "-" isn't either since it's already used for replacing spaces.
I use at "Act as Link: If this is filled in with a URL, clicking on the category will redirect people to the URL."
Why are you using that option? I don't understand what you think it's supposed to do, but I suspect it's not for what you think. It's for linking external websites, not things in your directory.

Not a bug, that's how it's always worked and is intended to work. & isn't a legal URL character.

Ok but the "&" could be replaced with "-" or "and" for something like this:
"Europe---Asia" or "Europe-and-Asia"
I use at "Act as Link:
If this is filled in with a URL, clicking on the category will redirect people to the URL."
"Europe-Asia/" but i get:
The requested page does not exist.
