Note that accessing the file via the add attachment button is difficult/not possible because of bug #1330756, so this is maybe the same bug or at least related

My understanding is that the code should call g_file_info_get_display_name().
I don't see anywhere in the code that function being called, only g_file_info_get_name(), so the fix might be easy

If I dnd a file from Google drive (a pdf for example) the name of the file is not properly set in the tab
So yes firefox has the same problem

Hi this is still happening in 115.11.1 (64-bit)
I also get the filename mangling when I use the file dialog using the google drive remote option.
