Directory names and file names appear garbled when using neovim master with FZF (floating window or not)

Any fix on the fzf side or is it a neovim issue?

Looks like an issue of your $FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND. fzf doesn't parse ANSI color codes when not explicitly requested via --ansi for performance reasons.

"When selecting files with fzf, we show file content with syntax highlighting, or without highlighting if it's not a source file. If the file is a directory, we use tree to show the directory's contents. We only load the first 200 lines of the file which enables fast previews of large text files. Requires highlight and tree: pacman -S highlight tree"

"--ansi tells fzf to extract and parse ANSI color codes in the input and it makes the initial scanning slower. So it's not recommended that you add it to your $FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS."

Try this:

export FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS="--ansi --preview '(highlight -O ansi -l {} 2>/dev/null || cat {} || tree -C {}) 2>/dev/null | head -200'"

... note the --ansi before --preview ...

export FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS="--preview '(highlight -O ansi {} 2>/dev/null || cat {} || tree -C {}) 2>/dev/null | head -200'"

export FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS="--ansi --preview '(highlight -O ansi {} 2>/dev/null || cat {} || tree -C {}) 2>/dev/null | head -200'"
