Create a file named `
file.txt` in `dired' (that is, with a newline included). It's possible
to mark this file, but when I try to delete it, `dired' complains that
there is "No file on this line".
Moreover, only "file.txt" is displayed on the next line, with no
indication that the filename starts with a newline. This makes it easy
to miss it at a glance. It could be helpful to have an option of the
filename instead being displayed like "^Jfile.txt" instead.
I'm using a recent build of Emacs 29 (from 24 November) on macOS.

You need to add -b to the ls switches used by Dired, and then you will
have what you want.

And I think we've previously decided that this is not something we're
going to attempt to solve in a more general way, so I'm closing this bug
report.
