[Bug 10997] New: winecfg does not allow non-ASCII characters in paths

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10997

Summary: winecfg does not allow non-ASCII characters in paths
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.52.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-gui
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

I'm trying to enter the path to my picture folder in the desktop integration
tab, but winecfg refuses to accept the Spanish word for it, which is
"Imágenes." Both typing the path manually and using the browse dialog work,
until "Apply" or "Accept" are clicked on, when the previous path is restored.
Any path not containing an accented letter seems to work.

If you place a text file in such a directory and open it with Wine wordpad,
does it work there?

Yes, it opens it alright, both from the command line, as well as from the open
dialog.

Here's more precisely how I tested:
$ echo test > Imágenes/winetest.txt
$ wine wordpad Imágenes/winetest.txt

Winecfg's directory picker is using ANSI strings, so moving to wide strings
should solve the problem.  But there might be a good reason why it is done the
way it is, of course.

What's your locale?

My locale is es_AR.UTF-8.

I'm sorry that I didn't mention that before.

I just tried to replace "My Pictures" by "My Pictures2", and it failed.
It looks like a general not related to locale problem.

Does it work for you with pure ASCII characters?

Yes, it does work for me with any folder, as long as it contains only US-ASCII
characters. I just double checked.
