Any sane "user-friendly" distribution must default to LC_COLLATE=C for the terminal use. I already lost unrecoverable data like in #571958, I now export LC_COLLATE=C in .bashrc but I'm not perverse enough to imagine it's an obligatory stop of terminal users. (LFS users probably know about collations and read the man 1 bash a long time ago)
About GUI: the LC_COLLATE is a shell configuration variable. GUI can find something else, metacity may offer an option like "respect LC_COLLATE to sort files". utf-8 LC_COLLATE is definitely far too counter-intuitive and risky, please fix, at least, /etc/skel/.bashrc -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/120687 Title: Caseless collate sequence in en_GB.UTF8 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
