Thanks. So it is not macOS version dependent and not arm64 dependent.

Somewhere other than your home directory, could you please create a new folder and name it exactly the same way as your home folder name that is causing issues. Then add any image file to it and zip it up and post it for me. Maybe I can recreate the bug that way.

Another thing that might help would be to use Terminal.app. Open Terminal.app and type the following commands exactly as written hitting return at the end of each line.

cd
echo ${HOME} > info.txt
echo `pwd` >> info.txt
env >> info.txt


Then zip up the newly created info.txt file and post it here.

The first line changes the directory to your home directory
The second line tries to echo the path of your home directory to info.txt file
The third line appends the current working directory to the info.txt file
The last line appends your current environment variables to the info.txt file.

The environment vars will tell me what encoding you are using, what locale you are using, your current path, etc.

Feel free to remove any lines you want from the env output listing, I really just need to know encoding used, locale, etc

I can use that to try to recreate your bug with my own folder names copied from your environment.

Thanks,

Kevin

maybe it is related somehow to my system being in a non-english european language? might that have anything to do with how unicode is used? I haven't tried. Keyboard is ABC Extended.

For a while I'll be occupied anytime I'm at the computer and often I have less chance to be at one, so it might be a while before I can try to track it down. But I'll try to keep it in mind.

One thing, for others I understand it is hard to remain patient and other. For some particular cultures, there is more of a tendency for critique, argument, disagreeing in a way that may not maintain hospitality warmth etc., and perhaps for some cultures modern life is more stressful. As such, many forums are often just not pleasant to hang around on. Here and elsewhere. Such does affect how much others want to contribute or participate. At least for me, much of time I just do not want to read any forums or discussions anywhere. For example, unrelated, how many critique each other for grammar even in cases when they cannot easily tell for some English may not be their first language, or if someone is stressed or going through something and their speech changes. There is just for some such little attempt at understanding.
