URL-encoding of file names in dialogs

In dialogs of the LibreOffice UI, file names will be shown with percent-encoding (URL encoding) instead of the name the user has chosen for them and instead of they are shown in file managers and other programs of the OS.

Examples:
* file "Für-mich.odt" is shown as "F%C3%BCr-mich.odt"
* file "AB v1.1.docx" is shown as "AB%20v1.1.docx"

The readability of these percent-encoded names is bad and regular users are not familiar with them.

The attachment shows the "file in use" dialog in German.

File in use dialog

Cannot reproduce in:
Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha1+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 9b80add7d54298b98cc3d38919fa30f44eb23d60
CPU threads: 6; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19042; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-US
Calc: CL

Has this something to do with the used encoding in win?
