Originally created by @LazyRen on GitHub (Oct 30, 2020).

Environment

Windows build number: Win32NT 10.0.19041.0
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 1.3.2651.0

Any other software?

Steps to reproduce

  1. Go to any location that contains '[' or ']' in the path.

  2. Type wt in the file explorer address bar

  3. Windows Terminal fails to run on the current folder. (Instead runs on C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0>)

  4. IT DOES NOT happens iff path doesn't have '[' or ']'.

My guess is that in order to cd to the path with '[' or ']'

you actually have to type `[ instead of plain [, but it fails to do so.

// Expected
cd '.\SVN\02_Softech\01_Problem\2020\`[2021`] Oct _1\'

// Actual
cd '.\SVN\02_Softech\01_Problem\2020\[2021] Oct _1\'

Expected behavior

It should have opened in the current folder. Even if the path contains [ or ].

Actual behavior

It fails to do so.

This appears to be a bug in Windows PowerShell. When I run wt -d . powershell.exe, it happens... but when I run wt -d . cmd it doesn't.

(It also happens if I remove WT from the equation and just run powershell.exe. Sorry.)
