Description
Fully UTF-8 environment, mc working in UTF-8 mode. MC displays filenames containing invalid UTF-8 sequences using U+FFFD - correct.
If I copy or move this file to another directory (e.g. simply F5 Enter or F6 Enter to copy/move to the other panel), the filename gets mangled, invalid UTF-8 characters are replaced by literal question marks.
Copy/move should leave the filename unchanged, even if it is invalid in the locale mc's using for display.
(Filesystem is some Linux fs (e.g. ext3) with Posix semantics so that filename is a sequence of bytes, interpretation up to the application. Obviously this bug cannot occur if the source filesystem has Windows semantics - filename is sequence of characters. Obviously the filename does have to mangled when copying from Posix to Windows semantics filesystem.)
Bug present in 4.7.0-pre2 as well 4.6.x+utf8 patches.
