I asked G CLI to open a file using @my file.txt using cursor. It opened two new files 'my'(empty) and 'file'(empty) and ignored the @ of the file that I had chosen

I asked G CLI to open a file using @my file.txt using cursor. It opened two new files 'my' 'file' and ignored the @ of the file that I had chosen

This is undesirable behavior. I want G CLI to open the @file that I specified using the tool that I specified e.g.
open @my file.txt using cursor and then open my file.txt

I recognize that white spaces might be throwing off the code but G CLI does recognize @my file in the terminal.

Could you upload a screen shot / video of this? I'm trying to repo

Another instance. Same problem.

I specifically @ the target file name and G Cli 'gets it' but on file open: no joy.

There was a recent fix around shell arg parsing (#7160). Can you please try with the latest gemini-cli version and let us know if that fixed the issue?
