terminal completions don't escape properly #249024

Type: Bug

I am working in a astro.js project and so I have files that are named [...slug].astro and similar. When I type git add or if I type e.g. cat src/pages/ I get completion sugestions that are correct and helpful, but if I pick [...slug].astro it inserts git add src/pages/[...slug].astro which when run complains that the file does't exist. What it should do is to insert git add src/pages/\[...slug\].astro which works.

@vs-code-engineering

Thanks for reporting this issue! Unfortunately, it's hard for us to understand what issue you're seeing. Please help us out by providing a screen recording showing exactly what isn't working as expected. While we can work with most standard formats, .gif files are preferred as they are displayed inline on GitHub. You may find https://gifcap.dev helpful as a browser-based gif recording tool.

If the issue depends on keyboard input, you can help us by enabling screencast mode for the recording (Developer: Toggle Screencast Mode in the command palette). Lastly, please attach this file via the GitHub web interface as emailed responses will strip files out from the issue.

Happy coding!
