Attachment: screen shot for garbled path name

This may caused by unicode change, before we escape non-ascii characters (see
bug 173578)

Comment 2

[Yuying Long]

This seems a regression after the unicode change, because it used to be no
problem with native characters (bug 192154) - Japanese characters were displayed
fine on Japanese system.

Also with Japanese named path/file, the menu item "Launch File" and "Show File
Location" are greyed-out, you can not do the two actions like ascii file names
can do.
