Bug Description

If the filename for example contains German umlauts it appends "(invalid encoding)" in the view. So far so good. But when you try to rename that file, "(invalid encoding)" becomes part of the name and you have to delete that manually.

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. However, a paper cut should be a small usability issue, in the default Ubuntu install, that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. So this bug can't be addressed as part of this project.

For further information about papercuts criteria, please read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut.

Don't worry though, this bug has been marked as "Invalid" only in the papercuts project.

This bug still exists in 10.04 LTS. The "(invalid encoding)" is just a superfluous annoying warning, which makes renaming files more difficult and cumbersome in Ubuntu (than e.g. on MS Windows). The "�" symbol is clear and visible enough to be sufficient as indication of an invalid encoding.
