As Ed requested, this morning I signed in to "GNOME on Xorg" first. My tests were as follows.

Test A.
1. Using the command line in a terminal, I downloaded a Chinese music video. The resulting file has a name made of traditional (Taiwan) Chinese characters.
2. I launched caja.
A SELinux alert pops up.
3. I used caja to rename the file to something with all ASCII characters.
A Selinux alert pops up.
Steps 2 and 3 were done a few times. For step 2, the SELinux alert occurs the first time only.
For step 3, the SELinux alert occurs every time.

Then Test B.
1. I did "strace -o caja.out -f /usr/bin/caja".
2. I used caja to rename a file to something with all ASCII characters.
A Selinux alert pops up.
3. I closed caja by clicking the little x in the upper right corner of the GUI.

Then Test C.
1. I launched Files.
2. I used Files to rename a file to something with all ASCII characters.
3. I closed Files by clicking the little x in the upper right corner of the GUI.
No SELinux alerts.

Then Test D.
1. I launched caja.
2. I used caja to rename a file to something with all ASCII characters.
3. I closed caja by clicking the little x in the upper right corner of the GUI.
No SELinux alerts.

Files seems to do something that prevents any further SELinux alerts from caja for the rest of the day.

I did:
bash.2[~]: su -
Password:
-bash.1[~]: ausearch -c gstglcontext -ts today > ausearch_Thurs.txt
-bash.2[~]: vi ausearch_Thurs.txt
Based on time stamps, I found that the process ID for Test B was 2636.
I did:
bash.17[~]: grep 2636 caja.out > grep2636.out
The resulting file is over 34000 lines long. How can I pare this down? What should I put on the google drive for y'all to view?
