Description
Description:
Using -P, --passthrough-arguments leads to trailing slashes in argument key on Windows (and stackblitz.com).
On local Mac doesn't reproduce.
If adding only the key without value (e.g. yarn test --key) doesn't reproduce as well.
Expected Behavior:
Argument key should not have a trailing slash when specifying argument value.
Environment:
concurrently v7.6.0
OS: Windows 10
Node v16.14.2
Reproduction:
stackblitz
in terminal type: npm run test -- --key=value or yarn test --key=value

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported commands with --passthrough-arguments on Windows or the linked StackBlitz environment, then trace the passthrough-argument parsing entry point. Done means an argument such as --key=value has no trailing slash in its key, while an argument supplied without a value remains unaffected.
