Describe the Issue

A button set to create a note with the option of "open note if already exists" enabled set to create the note in the "/" level of the vault will not open an existing note of the same name and instead just creates a new note with the running number scheme. It works properly when creating a note within a folder, but at the top level it always creates a new note.

For example this just creates the notes "Testing" then "Testing 1", "Testing 2" etc.

label: test in root
icon: ""
style: default
class: ""
cssStyle: ""
backgroundImage: ""
tooltip: ""
id: ""
hidden: false
actions:
  - type: createNote
    folderPath: /
    fileName: Testing
    openNote: true
    openIfAlreadyExists: true

but this works fine:

label: testing in test
icon: ""
style: default
class: ""
cssStyle: ""
backgroundImage: ""
tooltip: ""
id: ""
hidden: false
actions:
  - type: createNote
    folderPath: Test
    fileName: Testing
    openNote: true
    openIfAlreadyExists: true

Both of these were created in the example vault with the button builder

Steps to Reproduce

Make a button set to create a note of a specified title in the top level of the vault with the option of "open note if already exists" enabled.
Click button twice

Expected Behavior

I would expect the already existing note to be opened.
