That's not just the Windows build, it is a new behaviour in 1.5.x. We'll
probably look at adding a fallback to allowing such clicks to select the
object you're inside of, most specifically, for text and symbols.
Whether boxes / circles / paths get that treatment is uncertain.

Ok, $HOME might not be set on some windows boxes, try using the actual
absolute path. IIRC %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH% gives the right path on my
WinXP box.
