On Windows systems, opening a folder with Chinese characters in its path will trigger this error:

    Because the spam title on this issue means nobody will read it to discover that there is a problem.

    Because the spam title on this issue means nobody will read it to discover that there is a problem.

    Contrary to your intuition, the previously sent, very formal title didn't attract the developers' attention at all, and the bug remained unfixed for a very long time and through multiple iterations. Conversely, this seemingly spam title successfully drew their attention, thus creating an opportunity to fix the bug.
