<pre>Description:
In Windows, we must manually handle wildcards like ? and *. We use
FindFirstFileW() in loader.cxx to handle the wildcards. FindFirstFileW() may
not handle paths over 255 characters unless a \\?\ is prepended. If given an
absolute path prepend a \\?\.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.soffice.exe c:\veryLongPath\*.docx
2.
3.
Actual Results:
Long path names do not have their wildcards expanded.
Expected Results:
Long path names have their wildcards expanded.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
