New open file dialog - Does not like double quotes

The new open file dialog box returns a "File not found" error if you paste a file name into the "File name" input box if the file name is surrounded by double quotes.

The open file dialog box in v12- is able to find and open a file in that use case.
 
It doesn't seem to like wildcarded filenames much either.

e.g.

C:\SVN\my_misc_tools.pk*

I tried to use that construct to get it to show both the package spec and body (types: .pks and .pkb).

It wouldn't show any files, or even navigate to my directory.
 
I confirm that beta 4 fixes the issue with a wildcard in the filename, but had problems with the double-quotes. I just emailed the ELF file stack dump.
 
As Stew noted, the latest release still does not work with double-quotes. I do not get a dump, but get the following error message:

Cannot open file "C:\Program Files\PLSQL Developer 13 Beta\"\neptune\public\mhammel\a.txt"". The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect

I had entered "\\neptune\public\mhammel\a.txt".

You get the same result if you enter the path for a file on the workstation itself (i.e. a path starting with C:).
