Package: vim
Version: 1:7.1.285-1
Severity: normal
Vim's filemanager is unable to handle pathnames which contain UTF-8
characters. Entering to such directory messes up the filelist and the
path understood by Vim. To reproduce:
$ mkdir test-ä # "ä" is UTF-8 encoded
$ touch test-ä/file.txt
$ vim . # i.e. start editing current dir; filemanager is started
You can see the directory name "test-ä" correctly. Now enter to that
directory by pressing Enter key. You'll this kind of filelist:
<a4>/../
<a4>/./
<a4>/file.txt
(Note that UTF-8 encoded "ä" consists of bytes 0xc3 and 0xa4.)
Move the cursor to "file.txt" and press Enter and you'll start editing
the file "test-ä/<a4>/file.txt" which is obviously wrong.
