User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0.1
Build ID: 20110928134238

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create virtual folder with non-english name
2. Restart TB

Expected results:

Virtual folder is shown once

P.S: if create VF in english first, then rename, everything goes fine; if delete one of duplicates, second one stops working and disappears after restart

> 1. Create virtual folder with non-english name

What is the non-english name?
The virtual folder name and definition is kept in virtualFolders.dat under Tb's profile directory.
What is definition in virtualFolders.dat for the virtual folder with non-english name?

Perhaps same problem as bug 669144(for ":" case).

Name is "Новые" (in russian)

Before restart, the definition is 

> uri=mailbox://[e-mail]/Inbox/%D0%9D%D0%BE%D0%B2%D1%8B%D0%B5
> scope=mailbox://[e-mail]/Inbox|mailbox://[e-mail]/Inbox/06cb4a5e|mailbox://[e-mail]/Inbox/2d5a1aed|mailbox://[e-mail]/Inbox/Maillists|mailbox://[e-mail]/Inbox/TMS|mailbox://[e-mail]/Inbox/SoftTest
> terms=AND (status,isn't,read)
> searchOnline=false

After restart, new definition appears (and old one is retained):

> uri=mailbox://[e-mail]/Inbox/be3d2674
> scope=mailbox://[e-mail]/Inbox|mailbox://[e-mail]/Inbox/06cb4a5e|mailbox://[e-mail]/Inbox/2d5a1aed|mailbox://[e-mail]/Inbox/Maillists|mailbox://[e-mail]/Inbox/TMS|mailbox://[e-mail]/Inbox/SoftTest
> terms=AND (status,isn't,read)
> searchOnline=false

Seems that the trouble is in how virtual folder URI is generated.

Duping to bug 669144.

Comment 5

[WADA:World Anti-bad-Duping Agency]

Re-open, because bug 669144(ascii illeal file name character case) is already WORKSFORME in Tb 24.0.1.

Comment 6

[WADA:World Anti-bad-Duping Agency]

As written in bug 927827, problem still occurs in Tb 24.0.1.

Comment 7

[WADA:World Anti-bad-Duping Agency]

As written in bug 927827, WORKAROUND is;
  Create a Search Folder(Virtual Folder) with AlphaNumeric only,
  then rename to "Новые".
Only uri=mailbox://[e-mail]/Inbox/be3d2674 is generated in virtualFolders.dat if rename, so "Duplicated Search Folder" doesn't occur, although "excess DIRECTORY named be3d2674" is still created by Tb in addition to requred be3d2674.msf.

I know we've had some recent changes for special folders. Should those changes also resolve the issues of this and related bugs (including bug 919221)? Or do we need to extend that work here?

I've created a virtual folder from a search called テスト (test in Japanese). I got one folder, not two. I'm not aware of "recent changes for special folders". Which bug?

Aha, right now I'm seeing two folders テスト. That's after a restart and a couple of days of use since my last comment.
