File system problem

• Brief description

Navigating through Windows-folders fails sometimes.

• Full description / Expected results / Actual results / Steps

I made a symbolic link to a Windows folder for easy access like this: ln -s /mnt/c/Users/... to a Windows directory I often need, called Documents. The link is located in the /home/... folder from Bash/Ubuntu. In the Windows folder, there are other folders; in my case, there is a folder called Tetris.

Here is what I do (and see) in the terminal:

~$ cd Documents
~/Documents$ ls

Tetris

~/Documents$ cd Tetris
~/Documents/Tetris$ ls

Tetris

~/Documents/Tetris$ cd Tetris
~/Documents/Tetris/Tetris$ ls

Tetris

Although the path changes, the contents of the directory seems to remain the same. When I don't use the link, but write cd /mnt/c/.../Documents/Tetris in the terminal instead, the contents of the directory is shown correctly and I don't end up in a loop.

It's already fixed on insider builds but as workaround you need to make the symlink ending the path without slash
ln -s /mnt/c/Users/onoma/Documents
