bug#46705: 27.1; Dired fails to move files with newlines inside their names.

[Vladimir Nikishkin]

Shouldn't "seeing" characters be independent of working with files?

I don't mind seeing newlines as line breaks, that's what they are, after all. Thunar shows them as line breaks.

But shouldn't moving files work regardless? I'm using the coreutils version of ls, a fairly standard one.

You need to add -b to the Dired switches (i.e. "C-u C-x d" and type
"-alb") to be able to see special characters correctly, I think.
