--- Comment #15 from David Tonhofer <[email protected]> ---
Another case where the problem occurs consistently

Suppose you have a directory A with what we can call "offending filenames",
i.e. filenames with character encoded as 3-byte UTF8.

Create a copy of A as directory B.

Now try to "merge" the directories A and B by renaming directory A to directory
B. 

A dialog pops up that says "Would you like to merge the contents". 

Proceed with the merge by clicking on the "Write Into" button.

For every file for which there is a name clash (in this test case, all files),
Dolphin will pop up a dialog asking "Would you like to overwrite the
destination?" and allow you to give the source file a non-clashing name.

If the filename is "offending", the non-clashing filename proposed in the
dialog is mangled, for example "odtdt"

The fault is not consistently triggered but if it is, every offending filename,
and none of the non-offending filenames is subject to it.

Running a test from the terminal:

> mkdir TEST; cd TEST; mkdir A
> pushd A 
> # Offending
> touch APOSTROPHE’APOSTROPHE.odt
> touch MDASH–MDASH.odt
> touch PANDA🐼PANDA.odt
> # Not offending
> touch DELTAΔDELTA.odt
> popd
> cp -R A B
> dolphin .
