Opening file in IDE (like Cursor) with a space in the pathname fails

What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?
260203.1501 (523)
What subscription do you have?
pro
What issue are you seeing?
I have a project that has a space in the directory name ie. "/home/foo/AI Project"
When clicking on a file link in a chat window provided by codex, it opens the application (like Cursor) to view the file, but in the above prompt, it opens "/home/foo/AI" instead of "/home/foo/AI Project"
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Have a workspace that has a space in the file path.
Select default "open" application to a tool like Cursor.
Have the chat provide an example of a file in the project
Click file, cursor does not open the file due to incomplete path.
What is the expected behavior?
To open the file in the 3rd party tool, even if the path contains spaces.
