[Bug 986008] [NEW] Strange character showing in file listing in Nautilus in some views, for Thai language file names

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

In some views in Nautilus, there is a strange character appearing right
after particular characters such as . (dot) and - (dash) when using Thai
script in the file name.

Note that this does not happen in List view (Ctrl-2) , only icon view
(either Ctrl-1 or Ctrl-3).  Also, when renaming a file, the strange
character disappears during the editing of the filename. (But re-appears
just before any dots, dashes or underscores after renaming).

I attach some screen shots.   Screenshots 1 and 3 show the problem, with
the character appearing in front of a dot or dash.  Screenshot 2 (list
view) show that there is no issue there.  Screenshot 4 shows what
happens when renaming a file: the strange character(s) disappear.

Note when I take a file name and insert a dot or dash at any point
within the Thai name, the strange character appears in the affected
views.   This seems to happen only with dot and dash and underscore, but
not with regular a-z characters or characters like #, $, ! etc.  (I did
not try all 128 low ascii characters though).

EDIT: I can only add one attachment.  Will add the other ones in follow-
up comments.
