Network path broke when using auto complete

System Details

• Operating system name and version: Win 10
• VS Code version: 1.5.3
• PowerShell extension version: 0.7.2

Issue Description

When I using the auto complete feature for network path the leading double backslash changed to single one. As a result of it after every time I need to read the missing backslash to the beginning of the path.

Example before the autocomplete feature used
\\my\share
At this point I see the sub folders and files as expected.
Then:
\my\share\folder1

Hey @monghuz, I apologize for the extremely long delay in response! Are you still seeing this issue in the latest VS Code and PowerShell extension versions?

[monghuz]

Hey @daviwil,

Sadly yes. I just upgraded to 1.12.2 but the issue is still there.
To repro the issue you can create a share (abc) on your local pc and try to resolve the address
type:
\\yourPC\a
hit ctrl + space

result should be
\yourPC\abc

Can you try it in the VS Code Insiders release? I believe they fixed it recently but the fix hasn't made it to the main VS Code release yet.

Rejoice, @monghuz As of 1.13.0, this is corrected! :)

Yep, this should be fixed now, let me know if you still see it after installing the VS Code 1.13.0 update which just got released yesterday.
