When using the built-in file simple dialog box, the path cannot contain the ~ symbol

[huye]

Issue Type: Bug

This problem has been fed back for at least one year, but now the problem remains. When you press Ctrl + O and enter the ~ symbol anywhere in the path box, the path in the box will be changed to the home directory.

I gave feedback before, and the following people replied that it was designed like this. But I don't think I can understand if it is the first letter input ~ symbol, but what about the ~ symbol in the path?

For example:
My home directory is: /home/myhome
The path I want to enter is: /data/mycode/file~bak.cpp
When I have entered /data/mycode/file, now I want to enter the ~ symbol. But when I press the ~ key, and the whole input box becomes /home/myhome. Do you think this is reasonable?
