Bug#779885: info: Does not display a info-file from the start, if it contains (some) multibyte characters



Hello,

Looking at the dir file you attached, there are the following entries:

* Coreutils: (coreutils).       Core GNU (file, text, shell) utilities.
* coreutils: (coreutils)coreutils invocation.   Multi-call program.

The two labels are "Coreutils" and "coreutils". Info prefers an exact
case match, so it will display "(coreutils)coreutils invocation".

Info is operating as expected here. The problem is with the Info file
- it was a bad idea to add that dir entry.

I could be wrong, but I think this issue has already been fixed in the coreutils' git repository (though after 8.23 was released):
