Adding immutable attribute - does not show lock symbol on icon

I added the immutable attribute to an empty text file.

However, the file icon in thunar does not have the "lock symbol" like other files.

Does it have anything?
Which icon theme are you using?
Which version of thunar?

Below screenshot is thunar 1.8.4 with Vibrancy icons. Sessions folder is set immutable:

Maybe you just need to refresh (F5) the window?

Thunar 1.8.2 (Xfce 4.12)

I have another file that does show the lock symbol.

Traditional green theme

I will do some testing to see if the problems is only with .txt files, etc.
