D+ drops the driver letter from the path for some apps in persistent rules [NBZ]

The bug/issue

  1. What you did:
    Got a pop-up from D+ for C:\Users\SirComo\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\10.0.648.114\gcswf32.dll that it wants to access the memory of chrome.exe
    I allowed it and selected the remember option. The rule got created but the drive letter is not included in the path, only “\Users\SirComo\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\10.0.648.114\gcswf32.dll” is in the path.
  2. What actually happened or you actually saw: The drive letter is dropped from the path in the rule. This is a problem because if I purge the rules, this rule is removed as the path is invalid.
  3. What you expected to happen or see: The drive letter must be part of the path
  4. How you tried to fix it & what happened:
  5. If its an application compatibility problem have you tried the application fixes here?:
  6. Details & exact version of any application (execpt CIS) involved with download link:
  7. Whether you can make the problem happen again, and if so exact steps to make it happen: Yes, it can be reproduced for other apps too, and .cmd script files.
  8. Any other information (eg your guess regarding the cause, with reasons):
    Check .cmd files too, it happens for those too.
    Even if I add the correct full path manually as a rule, D+ won’t use it, it still pops up an alert and creates a new rule with the path missing the drive letter.
