Bug#976088: freecad: Start Page does not appear after editing a file with non-ascii characters in their name

[Łukasz Stelmach]

Package: freecad
Version: 0.18~pre1+dfsg1-5
Severity: normal
Forwarded: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/4092

Dear Maintainer,

When the list of recently edited files contains a file with a non-ascii
character in its name. The Start Page fails to show up and the error
message appears in the status bar and on the controlling terminal:

'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc5 in position 8: ordinal not in range(128)

There is a pull request upstream that fixes the issue.
