Hi Andrewas,

> Does tramp support dired-use-ls-dired?

Yes. But not all remote ls programs do support the --dired argument.

In fact, I could reproduce the problem. It does NOT happen if ls-lisp is
used, it happens only if Tramp tries to handle insert-directory itself.

The problem is, that dired does not recognise the filename correctly, if
it starts with a space, and text property dired-filename isn't set
accordingly (as it should, if --dired is used). I plan to debug this
case, but there wasn't time for this by today. Hope I could do it
tomorrow.

Best regards, Michael.
