When Mozilla is switched to display list of local files as XUL trees, the
files/folders containing non-english characters are shown incorrect(looks like
UTF-8) and are inaccessible. Files and folders named using only by characters,
which are not in the set charset are not shown at all.

Reproducible: Always

I have yet to check, but it may well  be specific to WIndows (as filed). In that
case, it's not an xp issue but could well be fixed with my patch for bug 162361
(see also http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.5rc2/known-issues-int.html :
the last pargraph in the section 'General'). 

Glutexo and Eyal, what are the default system locale of your Windows XP? What
were file names you had trouble with in the directory tree? If you want to
provide filenames in your bugzilla comment, please make sure that you set
Character Coding (View | Character Coding) to UTF-8 before typing your comment.

Quoting my XP 'Regional Settings' dialog:

Standards and Formats: Hebrew
Location: Israel
Language for Non-Unicode Programs: Hebrew


some of the filenames in my screenshot:

על ה-FTAA.txt
גליאנו, אדוארדו - פרדוקסים.txt
ביכלר, שמשון וניצן, יהונתן - לא בועה, הונאה.doc

hoping bugzilla won't choke on that...
Thanks for your prompt reply. It's strange that Hebrew characters under Hebrew
locale got mangled. I don't have any trouble with Korean characters in the
directory tree view under Korean locale (Win2k English version, but I changed
the default system locale to Korean). I need to play with some other
combinations to be sure what's going on.

My comment #5 has to be ignored. I was looking at html view. Somehow I couldn't
switch to xul view. Selecting xul view in Edit|Pref|Debug|Networking doesn't
make any difference at all (in 2003100404). I'll try other builds.
My XP Regional and Language settings:

Country: Czech Republic
Region: Czech
Encoding for non-U. apps: Czech (cp1250)

Filenames that I have problems with:
(filenames with only cp1250 chars:)

Přezdívka.png
Otevřené
Čeština.txt

(filenames with non-cp1250 chars:)
となりのトトロ.sub
人狼.srt
page source's encoding is Shift_JIS.

--- page source

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

but, xul directory tree's encoding is UTF-8.
if changed encoding UTF-8 to Shift_JIS, displaied error message.
