path with ~ not properly resolved

[ArgusKay99]

The character ~ is the alias for $HOME this will resolve most times to /home/username. However if i click on it the value is appended to the path:
eg.
~/development/workspace
will resolved as
/home/username/~/development/workspace
resulting in unknown-dir-error:
