Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

Windows Terminal Preview version 1.11.2731.0

Other Software

Windows version 10.0.19043.0

Steps to reproduce

  1. select a folder with semicolon in name
  2. open with "Open in Windows Terminal" action

Expected Behavior

no errors

Actual Behavior

error 0x80070002, same as #11273 , fixed in 9708a751

This is the directory structure used for testing:

PS C:\tmp> tree
Folder PATH listing for volume Windows
Volume serial number is A2A2-41FB
C:.
├───wt
└───wt;test

When right-clicking on "C:\tmp\wt;test" the first tab opens "C:\tmp\wt":

Windows PowerShell

Try the new cross-platform PowerShell https://aka.ms/pscore6

PS C:\tmp\wt>

and 2nd tab shows: [error 0x80070002 when launching `test.']

If "C:\tmp\wt" is renamed/remove the first tab shows:

[error 0x8007010b when launching `powershell.exe']
Could not access starting directory "C:\tmp\wt"

and the 2nd tab: [error 0x80070002 when launching `test.']

I'm pretty sure #11273 isn't fixed in 1.11.2731.0

In 1.12:

gh-11449

/dup #11273
