Description of problem:

Hi
GNU TeXmacs is a free program for composing scientific documents, including support for mathematical formulas...

It seems to me that TeXmacs 2.1, the current version of Mageia 9, has a bug. When I click on the file, it fails to load a file whose name or path includes an "é", "à"... 
It then displays "Unable to load file. New document has been created."

It does work, however, when I use the menu File, Load.
And this, on my two PCs, and to nic80 in the french forum.

I tested with the Appimage TeXmacs-2.1.4.x86_64.AppImage and got the same behavior.
So it's not a Mageia problem. But maybe my configuration is to blame.

This is with Plasma and icewm-light.

This problem is not present on Windows 10.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
TeXmacs 2.1
Mageia 9 

How reproducible:
Clicking on any TeXmacs file with a é, à, û... in its path or name.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open TeXmacs
2.Write something in.
3.Save the file as abcdéf.tm for example
4.Click on the file to open it
5.Message error, new file created.

I tried to reproduce this in Cauldron KDE Plasma, but am not sure I took the same steps as you.

First I did:

1.Open TeXmacs
2.Write something in.
3.Save the file as /home/marja/Documenten/Tex/abcdéf.tm
4 close TeXmacs
5 Open TeXmacs
6 Click on the icon to load a file
7 Click on abcdéf.tm
8 It does correctly open the just created file.

However, then I closed TeXmacs again, and used Dolphin to go to 
/home/marja/Documenten/Tex/

After right clicking on abcdéf.tm and selecting GNU TeXmacs to open it, TeXmacs starts, but, like with you, it claims that /home/marja/Documenten/Tex/abcdéf.tm cannot be loaded and a new file is created.

So, both cauldron and Mga 9 have a problem here, but I'm not sure it is exactly the same problem.

There is no registered maintainer, so assigning to all packagers collectively.

Did you click on the file using a file manager, (if so, which one?), or did you click on it inside TeXmacs when you hit this issue?

I have two ways to get this bug.
  1) Right clicking on the file in the file manager (Dolphin). TexMacs starts... Error message, new file ;
  2) Loading from the TeXmacs "Load icon" (near the "New file icon") and selecting the file in recent files. No error message, but I get a white page. 

But I've no issue with the File menu, Load, selecting the file in the window TeXmacs just opened to do it.
