Windows Terminal version

Version: 1.18.3181.0

Windows build number

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22621.2861]

Other Software

deno 1.39.2 (release, x86_64-pc-windows-msvc)
v8 12.0.267.8
typescript 5.3.3

Steps to reproduce

Install deno

Paste the following script in a folder that has a subfolder.

doublequote-bug.ts

// Get folder path from Deno.args
const [folderPath] = Deno.args

// Check if folderPath is provided
if (!folderPath) {
	console.error('Please provide the folder path as an argument.')
	Deno.exit(1)
}

const root = folderPath.replace(/"/g, '') // terminal bug that adds " if foldername contains / at the end

console.log({
	folderPath,
	root,
})

Now run it using deno.

Expected Behavior

folderPath shouldn't have " at the end & it should look like root

This only happens when you have \ at the end while calling deno run.

If I remove \ manually after pressing Tab after typing how<Tab>, then both folderPath & root looks same.

PS D:\$$ Tuts> deno run .\doublequote-bug.ts '.\How to make $10k a month on Reddit'
{
  folderPath: ".\\How to make $10k a month on Reddit",
  root: ".\\How to make $10k a month on Reddit"
}

This is a source of many bugs that I faced in python as well as deno so I think it's actually a Terminal bug.

Actual Behavior

Here's what I run & the output I get:

PS D:\$$ Tuts> deno run .\doublequote-bug.ts '.\How to make $10k a month on Reddit\'
{
  folderPath: '.\\How to make $10k a month on Reddit"',
  root: ".\\How to make $10k a month on Reddit"
}

Notice the extra double quote near the end of folderPath
