bug#31646: 25.3; dired gets confused if filename contains linefeed char (\u000a) or (0x0a)

[Blaubogi]

Hello,

If a filename contains a linefeed character, dired does not escape it. Instead dired shows it in the buffer which make the remaining characters of the name appear on the beginning of the next line. (using linefeed with code 0x0A or unicode \u000a)

This causes all kinds of trouble:

- file can't be deleted

- regular _expression_ for file recognition doesn't work any longer:

'no file on this line'

- hide-details mode does not show ANY files in this dir

- probably more

System:

In GNU Emacs 25.3.1 (x86_64-suse-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.20.10)

of 2018-05-25 built on lamb08

Windowing system distributor 'The X.Org Foundation', version 11.0.11803000

System Description: openSUSE Leap 42.3

ext4 filesystem.

To reproduce:

Using ruby I created a file like this:

dir = "/mnt/loop0/test"

fname = "test" + "\u000a" + "test"

File.open(File.join(dir, fname), "w") { |fd| fd.write("test") }

M-x dired /mnt/loop0/test

I didn't test emacs under Microsoft Windows.

I did test using ntfs filesystem instead of ext4 which makes no difference.
