Vscode-powershell: Tab Completion removes backslash in UNC Path

System Details

• Operating system name and version: Windows 10 v1607, build 14393.970
• VS Code version: 1.11.2
• PowerShell extension version: 0.11.2
• Output from $PSVersionTable:

PSVersion 5.1.14393.953

Issue Description

Tab completion is removing the initial backslash from UNC Paths.
For instance:
\\CorpServer\ becomes \CorpServer\ when one of the subdirectories is selected.
This occurs at every level, not just at the root of the server/share.

Wow, that's weird, I'll take a look!

I just recently learned that I could embed GIFs, and grabbed a copy of LICEcap, so I've decided to attach a demonstration, so that others can see what's happening.

I hadn't noticed this behavior before, but I can report that I can duplicate the issue with:
VSCode: 1.12.0
PowerShell Extension: 1.0.0

This seems to be fixed in the latest Visual Studio Code Insiders build, can you try it there and let me know if it's resolved for you?

[mpearon]

@daviwil
I checked in Insiders, and you are correct - it appears to be working as expected! :)

[daviwil]

Great, thanks for confirming! I'll keep this issue open until that fix comes to the stable VS Code release.

[mpearon]

Great news, @daviwil! As of 1.13.0, this behavior seems to have been corrected! :)

[daviwil]

That's great, thanks a lot!
