Bug: Folder name ending with space creating issues (created from iOS Files app -Seafile app integration-) not visible on Windows SeaDrive/SyncClient and seemingly misleading as a duplicate folder name issue

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a new Folder "X" in Seafile using iOS Files app under "My Library" (later realizing folder name was actually "X " ending with space)
  2. Copy files to this folder
  3. The new folder and files are visible on Seafile Web UI
  4. Start Windows SeaDrive
  5. Go to "My Library" on Windows, new folder "X" is not visible
  6. Try restarting Windows SeaDrive, logoff logon etc. No change, folder "X" is still not visible.
  7. Experimenting from this point 7a. Create a new folder named "X" in Windows SeaDrive, a second folder named "X" is visible on Seafile WebUI. 7b. Try create a third "X" folder in Seafile WebUI "The name "X" is already taken. Please choose a different name.". 7c. Delete the second "X" folder, original "X" folder remains, no change in behaviour on Windows SeaDrive or other clients 7d. Try create once again an additional "X" folder in Seafile WebUI, folder created, again having duplicate "X" folders on WebUI, and Windows SeaDrive shows the second "X" folder 7e. Create a new empty text file under the second "X" folder from WebUI, file is synced to Windows SeaDrive. 7d. Still can't access to the original "X" folder from Windows SeaDrive. 7f. Review Sync client logs, realizing folder name was actually "X " ending with space
  8. Rename "X " to "X" removing trailing space
  9. Windows Sync Client successfully syncs the folder, however Windows SeaDrive only displays the folder but content is still missing
  10. Rename the folder to something else once again "X" to "Y", now every client is in sync
