[BUG] Does not work when folder ends in apostrophe U+0027
Has this bug been raised before?
- [x] I have checked "open" AND "closed" issues and this is not a duplicate
Describe your issue:
Hi,
I experienced an issue when the folder contains an apostrophe at the end of the folder name, then it just shows an error message instead of opening the folder in a new tab.
Steps to reproduce
Prerequisite: Window Hook enabled.
-
Create a folder with apostrophe U+0027 at the end, for example this:
abc' -
Create a shortcut (.lnk) to that folder.
-
Open any other explorer window different from this folder. Explorer needs to be open with at least one window.
-
Open the shortcut to the folder abc'
Actual behavior
It shows the following error message
(in German, translates to "... could not be found. Make sure the path is correct")
Expected behavior
The folder abc' opens in a new tab.
