Bug Description

In the "Recent files" list menu, when you have a pdf with a filename such as file_with_underscores.pdf
it appears on the list as filewithunderscores.pdf, i.e. the underscores disappear and the words get concatenated.

Not sure if this is by design, filing as a bug just to make sure it's noted.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

Upstream report was closed "RESOLVED OBSOLETE" on 2014-10-28
as interface to show recent files has changed.

Filename that include underscores showing correctly when
using evince 3.32 in Ubuntu 19.10 (dev)

Issue may have been fixed by changing the interface so closing
