Error renaming files

[andrex64]

Good morning, after the last update i have this problem:
All my files are under a directory with this schema : " - 1992\name artist\album"
before the update when i rename the files I don't have any problem.
Now when i rename a file is created a new directory without the space before the "-" and all the subdirectory..
Is only my system affected or other persona have a same problerm?
I using with same problems windows 7 and windows 10.
Grazie From Italy

For example: if I have a folder of mp3's named "General" (where the "" stands for an empty space), after converting the mp3's I find them moved to a folder called simply "General" (with the empty space removed).

This is a wanted behaviour according to the OS-specs.
