Problem: when opening Atom IDE "Open File" or "Open Folder" dialog the names of files and folders is not encoded properly and only white squares are shown.
Description: This has happened right after upgrading from 16.04 to 18.04 using the command sudo do-release-upgrade -d. The same issue does not happen when opening folders from applications such as Gedit or VLC.
The dialog, as shown by Atom, has the following aspect:
Bad encoding on Open File dialog ubuntu 18.04

I'm sure there's some other way to fix this, but I uninstalled Atom and reinstalled it on my Ubuntu 18.04 to "fix" the problem.
