PCmanFM replaces " " (space) with "%20" when cutting and pasting files on SMB shares

[Jens]

Running Lubuntu 14.04.

To reproduce:

Mount some SMB share (in my case, a WD Mybooklive Linux based NAS).
Select some files with spaces in their names, press CTRL+X (to cut these).
Navigate to some other folder on this share.
Press CTRL-V.

The files will be pasted there but their names will be mangled (space replaced with "%20").

This replacement should not happen.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This also happens when copying FROM a SMB share to e.g. a MTP device. These seem quite common operations and spaces in file names are quite common too. Is nobody interested in this bug? Or is more information needed?

[Jens (jens-launchpad-net)]

Upstream reports this is fixed in libfm-1.2.1. Since this is quite a serious bug (affects daily usage), could an update for Trusty be considered?
