After searching for a reference and dragging the file, a “File does not exist” error occurs. #25587
Description
Type: Bug
Behaviour
If I search for a reference and then drag the file, I get a “File does not exist” error.
This issue is likely caused by mixed file path separators (‘/’ and ‘\’).
The file opens fine when opened directly.
There are no issues even with simple searches, not just references.
Steps to reproduce:
- attach to docker container
- search reference (Alt + Shift+ F12)
- drag file to editor
- FILE NOT FOUND
Diagnostic data
None
