Bug Description
Try taking a working PDF file and renaming it to "error' yes.pdf".
Opening "error' yes.pdf" from nautilus results in a "file not found" error. The same file can be opened successfully with the "evince error\'\ yes.pdf" command from a terminal.
This *seems* to happen only with files that contains apostrophes followed by a space (e.g. "error'no.pdf" is ok).
Same thing happens to every other file type. Gedit, for example, will try to open the following files instead of "/tmp/test' b' c":
- "/tmp/test'" (notice the trailing apostrophe)
- "~/b'"
- "~/c"
Release: Ubuntu quantal (development branch).
Nautilus version 3.4.2-0ubuntu2
