Bug Description

Ubuntu release ver: 14.10

Package: Some nautilus package?

I accidentally named a group of files with filenames that ended with a question mark (?). Calling programs could not find these files because their filenames were appended with ?s. Looking at the files in nautilus (and all other gui apps including gedit), the filenames appear without the question mark, even when the filename is displayed during the renaming process. It looks like there is nothing wrong with the filename. Look at the same files in a console/terminal window using ls shows the ?s. Need to fix the gui to show the REAL filename.
