Description
Issue Type: Bug
Dragging and dropping a file from the Explorer sidebar into the terminal while in a remote WSL session will paste the absolute file path into the terminal, but the forward slashes will be backslashes instead.
Right clicking and copying the relative path will give the path with proper forward slashes.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by dragging a file from the Explorer into a terminal during a WSL: Ubuntu remote session, then compare the pasted absolute path with the path from copying a relative path. Done means the dragged path uses forward slashes, matching the expected Linux path format.
