Description

Files does not display correctly WSL folders ending with a dot, and cannot interact with them (no way to open a directory named toto... for example).

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Open a terminal in WSL
  2. Create a folder named foo... by typing mkdir foo...
  3. Navigate to this directory in Files (for example: \\wsl$\Ubuntu-22.04\tmp)

Notice how:

  • the folder's name is foo instead of foo...
  • double-clicking on the folder does nothing

Steps to fix

  • Allow users to properly navigate to these locations
  • Display the proper name

Files Version

Version 2.13.12.0

Windows Version
