Bug Description

On a fat32 partition if I create a new folder (via a right-click) using
Nautilus, and gives it a name using only upper-case characters, lets say "TEST",
2 folders will be created: "TEST" and "test". But after a reload, using ctrl-r,
Nautilus will
then only display one folder named "test"

If I look on the fat32 partition using an xterm session, only one folder is
present "test", even when Nautlius is displaying both "TEST" and "test" (before
the reload).

I am no longer able to reproduce this (up-to-date dapper). Comment #5 upstream suggests a patch was made, but then the discussion goes on to a related issue. If others can confirm this we should close it.

It is fixed. It is not possible to reproduce on a up to date dapper system.
It has also not been any response to this bug lately, and the remote bug looks like it's fixed.

Please reopen if this is not the case.
