Is there a space char at the end of non-colored file name?

These files are properly highlighted when they on ext4/vfat filesystems (both native) however the bug occurs when they are copied to an ntfs-3g (fuse) filesystem.

There are no invisible characters at the end of their names.

You can create them:

cat | while read fname; do touch "$fname"; done

i've noticed that highlighting is broken when files have hardlinks. maybe that's related.

Replying to ossi:

That actually might be the case but the files in question don't have any hard links but maybe FUSE works differently.

#3234, #3375

That actually might be the case but the files in question don't have any hard links but maybe FUSE works differently.

Please show the output of ls -l on both file systems.

That's actually the case.

Files with two hard links are NOT highlighted - that's obviously a bug in NTFS-3G but MC should work regardless.
