Description
# Description of the new feature/enhancement
While dragging a file into the terminal the path it generates becomes unusable in wsl. Shouldn't it generate the path from the mount point of wsl?
# Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing a file drag/drop into a terminal using Canonical's Ubuntu profile under WSL, and trace the terminal's generated-path behavior. Verify how the WSL mount point is determined and compare the resulting path with what the shell can use. Done means dragged files produce a usable WSL path in this profile.
