Bug Description

When opening a file with a non-ASCII name with LibreOffice Writer (4.4.6.3) through the Desktop Apps Scope (1.3.2.2) on M10 there is a Gtk error-dialog with a message:

/home/phablet/shared/memoire.2.odt does not exist.

The actual name of the file is /home/phablet/Documents/tmp/mémoire.odt.

In the error message the non-ASCII characters are replaced with '?' if the language of the system does not have these characters, if it has - then it's replaced with a phonetic equivalent even for different alphabets.

Two things you should check:

1. Mount options for that filesystem to verify it has the right flags (mostly non linux native FSes which need extra flags, e.g. vfat for USB sticks).
2. What's the output of " locale -a " command?
