Drag&Drop guest->host fails if unicode ligature character is in file-name (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND) -> fixed in 5.2.20

[virtual_rob]

I just noticed that copying a file from guest to host (both Windows) fails always if the file-name contains a unicode character like "œ" 'LATIN SMALL LIGATURE OE' (U+0153).

Renaming the file, replacing the mentioned character with ASCII characters solves the problem.

Error message:

Die Drag-und-Drop-Operation vom Gast zum Host ist fehlgeschlagen.

Drag and drop error from guest (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND).

I have the same problem with the v5.0.24

My Host : Windows 7 64-bits

My Guest : Windows XP SP3

For example, if I have a file on my host with the following name :

• Hello.txt -> it works fine
• après.txt -> I can drag and drop from host to guest but I can't drag and drop from guest to host.

Please see the attached screenshot

I have a very similar problem.

My Host: Windows 7 64-bits, French edition

My Guest: Windows XP SP3 (Chinese version)

When I try to drag a file from the guest desktop to the host desktop, I get the following error message:

Le glisser-déposer de l'invité vers l'hôte a échoué.

Drag and drop error from guest (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND).

Code d'erreur : VBOX_E_IPRT_ERROR (0x80BB0005)
Composant : GuestWrap
Interface : IGuest {13a11514-402e-022e-6180-c3944de3f9c8}

My VirtualBox Version (latest): Version 5.1.4 r110228 (Qt5.5.1) with the latest udpated Extension Pack. After having updated VirtualBox and the Extension Pack, I have reinstalled the extension pack and reboot the guest system (XP).

In my case, drag & drop does not work at all, even with file using only ASCII characters.

Could you help or find a solution? Many thanks!
