I once fell for that and went (almost) crazy, too. Seems to happen with long filenames only, since apparently Kovid decided to "snip out" text in various places in order to be sure not to exceed filesystem name length restrictions.

Unfortunately, the logic behind it isn’t too clear (for me, at least).

I finally went for shorter filenames, like omitting subtitles and reducing the number of authors to one only (in the filenames; I actually have an anthology with 84 (!) authors, guess what the filename would look like…).
