[New-bugs-announce] [issue29827] os.path.exists() returns False for certain file name

[Marko Mavrinac]

New submission from Marko Mavrinac:

I have two files in two different folders, both on desktop.
If I try using os.path.exists() on both of them, it returns True for one file and False for the other file.
After renaming file that I got False from, I get returned True and when I rename it back, it returns False again.

File name causing the problem is "testni.wav", I assume it's anything starting with "test", but I'm sure you guys will know better. Thank you
