Description Denis Jacquerye 2004-10-06 14:16:13 UTC 
I've only tried this in Icon view mode.
If a file has an invalid unicode character in its filename, it is displayed as
"filename (Invalid Unicode)" instead of simply "filename", which is good.
But when trying to rename the file, the "(Invalid Unicode)" string is kept in
the filename, which mean that the user has to both fix the invalid unicode
character and remove "(Invalid Unicode)" or else it will be added/kept in the
new filename.

Action: renaming a file with an invalid unicode character
Excpets: saves the file under the new filename.
Behaviour: saves the file under the new filename, including the "(Invalid
Unicode)" in the name.

To create an invalid filename, try something like this in bash:
echo > $'\xBE\xEF'
