Description

When clicking on "Open file location", for example in Windows Explorer's start menu, the corresponding folder is displayed in short-hand form in the URI bar. This happens also when using similar functionality from third party applications like Open Shell Utility or MusicBee.

ApplicationFrameHost_Lik3Ok8lri

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Right click on an application in the Windows start menu
  2. Click Open file location

ApplicationFrameHost_pglnq9e6MD

Expected behavior

The URI bar should display the long version of the path. If the short-hand is used in the backend that's fine, but it shouldn't be shown to the user as it is confusing and harder to read.
