Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Notepad++ on Windows using the tab context-menu Rename action and the lowercase-to-uppercase filename change described above. Trace the rename handling from that action, then verify that the filename's case changes without unintended overwriting; add or run a regression test if the repository provides coverage for this behavior.
