SublimeLinter: [windows] Linting doesn't work if parent folder path or the opened filename contains a right parentheses ')'

I’ve noticed it by chance while using Sublime Text 3 x64 build 3086 (in win10 x64) as external editor for Greasemonkey, Using SublimeLinter-jshint.

I noticed frequently that whenever opening specific installed userscripts, linting doesn’t work. But if I copied the code and pasted it in a new tab (as javascript) then linting would work again.

Eventually I found out that linting doesn’t work if either the parent folder path or the opened filename contains a right parentheses ‘)’.

Example (using a small userscript name length):

• create this folder path: C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\abcdefgh.default\gm_scripts\Test_(1) and
• place a .js file in there (e.g. Test_(1).user.js) with some syntax errors.
• If you try to open it in Sublime Text, then linting doesn’t work. Renaming that file to a minimum length, e,g, 1.js doesn’t work neither.
• if now you delete the right parentheses from the parent folder ) i.e. to become Test_(1
  and rename the file to Test_(1.user.js and then open the file again, linting will work as expected. (if you don’t rename both, then linting won’t work)

The same happens if you place the Test_(1) folder containing the Test_(1).user.js file to C:\ i.e. having the minimum length possible.

Enabling Debug mode in Sublimelinter3 reveals for the latter case:

C:\Test_(1)>  "C:\Users\Kostas\AppData\Roaming\npm\\node.exe"  "C:\Users\Kostas\AppData\Roaming\npm\\node_modules\jshint\bin\jshint" --verbose --filename C:\Test_(1)\Test_(1).user.js -
\Test_(1).user.js was unexpected at this time.
