SUMMARY
On Windows they use Backslash for directory delineation.
The rest of the 'sensible' world uses Forward Slash (correctly IMO).
On this OS we need to copy the path many times and paste it somewhere like the file name field in an open/save dialogue.
Windows is too dumb to resolve the forward slash/backslashing in this field. User has to go to M$ File Explorer to copy the path or use another approach.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

actually not fixed in this build, still showing forward slashes in path bar
but right click a file copy file location actually does use back slashes
