Bug Description
Situation : I had drawers working fine in 13.10. I installed 14.04 and restored data and installed drawers from PPA. I had 2 folders drawers in launcher with 2 sets of shortcuts. I used them mainly the right-click > quicklist menu with content of folder. It was a great tool to access my most used files.
Issue : After a couple of months of happy use I had to change the content of one of the folder, but the menu didnt follow the change. It showed allways the same old set of links. I tried various things but nothing could improve it.
I tried so many things that I actually lost the drawers : when clicking nothing happens. I uninstalled and reinstalled but nothing better : I created the folders drawers are never launched : never opened as windows nor as menus.
Since i could not use the "automatic folder-drawers" I created a simple drawers and manualy added some links inside it, one at a time. But after a couple of links, the new links are not recorded, or they got recorded for a while, but then disappear after a while...
=== [EDIT] ===
As stated in the first following comment, there was an accenctuated character in one of the filenames. It seems that this was the reason for all the troubles.
Drawers should do aswell with accenctuated characters in filenames :
"Déjàvu", "bientôt", "Champs Elysées", etc

Exploring further i noted the following that could be the reason why its so broken now :
- an accenctuated character in a filename badly impacts drawers (déjàvu, bientôt...).
So i renamed all filenames so as to have no accenctuated characters : behaviour was improved.
- underscores in a filename are displayed in the menu shortlink as are usually displayed keyboard shortcuts in menus ("no_more" is displayed as "no<u>m</u>ore"). When there are many underscores in a filename, none of them appear in the menu, but only the last one is changed into a keyboard shortcut)
