Download All - skipping some submissions with ?

We are using Moodle 3.6.7+ (Build: 20191122)

Recently, one of our faculty members created a Moodle assignment, and when she clicked to download all the submissions, it skipped a few. The pattern I saw was that it skipped over the files with question marks as part of the file name, when working on a PC.

Assignment Name: "Why Social Work/Human Services?" Paper Assignment.  Due uploaded by 11:55 pm, Th. April 2.  UPLOAD HERE.

Sample file that failed to download on a PC: S W2010-102 Why Social Work_Human Services?__2

I found the download all submissions failed in Chrome and Firefox on a PC, but worked just fine on a Mac.

Two Questions

  1. Beyond switching to a Mac, is there another fix to the question mark issue?
  2. Is there a character limit for the download? The assignment name itself is rather lengthy,
Thanks in advance for any leads.
