Comment 0 for bug 986008

In some views in Nautilus, there is a strange character appearing right after particular characters such as . (dot) and - (dash) when using Thai script in the file name.

Note that this does not happen in List view (Ctrl-2) , only icon view (either Ctrl-1 or Ctrl-2). Also, when renaming a file, the strange character disappears.

I attach some screen shots. Screenshots 1 and 3 show the problem, with the character appearing in front of a dot or dash. Screenshot 2 (list view) show that there is no issue there. Screenshot 4 shows what happens when renaming a file: the strange character(s) disappear.

Note when I take a file name and insert a dot or dash at any point within the Thai name, the strange character appears in the affected views. This seems to happen only with dot and dash, but not with regular a-z characters or characters like #, $, ! etc. (I did not try all 255 characters though).

EDIT: It seems I can only add one attachment. Will see if I can add the other ones in follow-up comments.
