What's wrong
The #114 fix stops DotNet.Glob treating slashes as path separators. It does this by masking them in both the pattern and the text before matching (TextFilter/TextFilter.cs ~lines 405–415 at c4eec7b):
private const char MaskedPathSeparator = '\uE000';
private static string MaskPathSeparators(string value) =>
value.Replace('/', MaskedPathSeparator).Replace('\\', MaskedPathSeparator);Both / and \ map to the same private-use character, so after masking the glob can no longer tell them apart.
Reproduction (observed on net10.0)
TextFilter.Filter(["C:\\temp\\x", "1/2", "1\\2"], "1/2", TextFilterType.Glob);
// actual: ["1/2", "1\\2"] expected: ["1/2"]
TextFilter.IsMatch("a\\b", "a/b", TextFilterType.Glob, TextFilterMatchOptions.ByWholeString);
// actual: true expected: false
TextFilter.Filter(["C:\\temp", "http://x", "plain"], "-*/*", TextFilterType.Glob);
// actual: ["plain"] expected: ["C:\\temp", "plain"]Why it matters
The masking exists because "a slash is an ordinary character" in arbitrary text. The side effect is that the two slashes are now interchangeable. A user who excludes URLs with -*/* also loses every Windows path. Filtering for and/or or 1/2 also shows backslash variants. Regex and plain-text filtering don't do this, so the result depends on which filter type is selected.

/and\to two distinct private-use characters (e.g.\uE000and\uE001), applied identically to the pattern and the text.*and?never match across/or\, so any item containing a slash is filtered out #114 tests (wildcards crossing/and\) still pass.
