[TC 11.00 b7] wrong %n value in Start menu command

[wc1996]

TC 11.00b7 64-bit
Windows 11 Pro, default locale = Simplified Chinese

I have several commands defined in the Start menu, I passed %n as parameter to the target executable. Since 11.00 b7, the %n argument value is wrong just like the string is not initialized (some garbage code). It was correct in b6.

Thats a known problem, the usage of short 8.3 file names is broken in b7.
Why can't you use %N ?
The lowercase was only intented for programs which can't handle long names.

It is a very old program which cannot correctly handle file names with spaces, so I have to pass 8.3 file names to it as a workaround.

It will be fixed in beta 8, sorry for the inconvenience.

I tested with my old program and I think it's fixed. Thank you.
