[Scribus] Using the Open dialogue with paths with hash marks

I am having a problem with Scribus 1.3.3.9 on Windows XP sp2 and Windows
2K sp4.
I am saving my files on a network drive with a hash (#) in the path
name. This is a situation I cannot change as my work sets up these
things and refuses to let us change them. the problem is that with a
path like this:
P:\Job Number\3174 Review #2 Sub\06. Engineering\Testing
And within this final directory lives my file. So when I open it by
browsing to the file, no problem. The problem occurs after loading if I
try to open another file, I receive an error message saying:
Error: Could not read directory
P:\Job Number\3174 Review
Which once again leads me to thinking that the hash symbol is actually
causing the bug. If I select OK, the open dialogue continues but the
screen is buggy:
Look in: contains the full path: P:\Job Number\3174 Review #2 Sub\06.
Engineering\Testing
Actual window has reverted to : P:\Job Number
Filename contains: 3174 Review
I then have to browse to the folders again to get to where I want to be.
This is rather undesirable behaviour.
Any idea if this has been filed as a bug before?
Thanks.
Carl
