Strange character showing in file listing in Nautilus in some views,
for Thai language file names

Bug description:
Impact: the default filemanager renders thai filenames incorrectly
Development Fix: the bug has been fixed in quantal
Stable Fix: it's a trivial patch coming from
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=677090 (upstream bug
report)
Regression Potential: could break thai string rendering in another way
but it seems pretty unlikely since it adds a special rules for the
specific char which was rendered in a buggy way
Test Case:
- download the document from comment #10
- open the folder where it's downloaded in nautilus
- see if the filename is correct or there are square chars like in screenshot
in comment #3
...
In some views in Nautilus, there is a strange character appearing
right after particular characters such as . (dot) and - (dash) when
using Thai script in the file name.
Note that this does not happen in List view (Ctrl-2) , only icon view
(either Ctrl-1 or Ctrl-3). Also, when renaming a file, the strange
character disappears during the editing of the filename. (But re-
appears just before any dots, dashes or underscores after renaming).
I attach some screen shots. Screenshots 1 and 3 show the problem,
with the character appearing in front of a dot or dash. Screenshot 2
(list view) show that there is no issue there. Screenshot 4 shows
what happens when renaming a file: the strange character(s) disappear.
Note when I take a file name and insert a dot or dash at any point
within the Thai name, the strange character appears in the affected
views. This seems to happen only with dot and dash and underscore,
but not with regular a-z characters or characters like #, $, ! etc.
(I did not try all 128 low ascii characters though).
EDIT: I can only add one attachment. Will add the other ones in
follow-up comments.
