Description

Polish.

In lobby, when hoovering server entries a popup is shown displaying all palyers in the lobby of that server.

Players that use & and likely other characters in their player names will be displayed as & in the popover.

Not sure if this is the popover encoding the string. Or the popover not decoding the html entity in the nick name.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by hovering server entries in the lobby and inspect the popover's player-nickname rendering path. Confirm how names containing & are encoded or decoded; done means the popover displays the original nick correctly, including other HTML characters if covered by the same behavior.
