GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 673776
Move to trash undoing fails when path contains Scandinavian letters

I reported this on Launchpad [1] and was forwarded upstream. Steps to reproduce: 1. touch ~/foo_åäö 2. In Nautilus, point at the file created in step 1 3. Right-click for context menu 4. Select Move to Trash 5. Press Ctrl-Z/Select Undo from the Edit menu What happens: Nothing What I expect to happen: For the file to recover from trash to ~. What works: * Undoing Move to Trash with files with no scandinavian letters in their path/filename. * Recovering foo_åäö by opening Trash and selecting Recover from context menu. More info: * Could be that more characters, perhaps all non-ASCII characters render Nautilus' Undo impotent — I've only tested å, ä and ö. * The Finnish translation for Desktop (~/Desktop) is Työpöytä, which means files moved to trash from Desktop can't be recovered. Nasty. *[1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/973620
Confirmed with nautilus 3.4 here
I now pushed a fix for this to git master and gnome-3-4 branches.
