Well, it seems that TC on Shift+F4 created file 123 and passed name to editor, and FAR created file
really with dot in name. It is strange why FAR created a file with dot in name when you ask for edit file without it.
BTW as I see TC passes to editor name with dot at the end (maybe to indicate that file have no extension). Anyway it is a FAR bug that it created file with dot in the name instead of creating just file without extension.

Thanks for info but here FAR made this buggy name instead of just opening empty existing file:) "Сам наломал дров - сам пусть и расхлебывает=))"
Anyway there is a way to create/rename/delete such buggy files. In NT systems special prefix "\\?" exists that should be placed before file/folder path for names longer than 260 characters. The joke is that if you pass such name, OS doesn't clear it from spaces etc so you may easilly create such non-deleteable file using simple command:
In this case dot will be really written into filename.
And no app will work with such filename if it doesn't use prefix "\\?" or just removes extra dots at the end of name.
To delete such file you may use console command:
