Description

When I open Webstorm, I get an error detailing an issue with accessing my config file (see logs). I presume this is just a result of the apostrophe in my user name not being escaped properly. I've tried to add a project specific config, but that gave me a different err (see logs).

To reproduce

1. Create a windows user with an apostrophe in the file path
2. Open Jetbrains webstorm while signed in as the new user
3. Install Continue
4. Click the cog to open config, and observe the error notification in the bottom right

Log output

----- Whenever I click the settings cog -----

Error handling message of type openFile: java.net.URISyntaxException: Illegal character in opaque part at index 2: C:\Users\XXXXO'XXXX\.continue\config.json

----- When opening webstorm, with a project-specific config file (outside of the path with the apostrophe) -----

Error handling message of type getWorkspaceConfigs: java.net.URISyntaxException: Illegal character in path at index 24: file://C:/Dev/Repos/XXXXX/nextjs/XXX.continuerc.json

Its likely related to #3545 and not related special character in your username. I got the same error with alpha numeric username, no special characters in it. Are you using remote docker DevContainer?
