The false parameter removes the drive letter from the path (so C:/Users/ turns to /Users/), which is fine when using the embedded file browser since that has a dropdown for drive letters. But on native file browser, it should use the full path, including drive letter.
Line 73 passes ProjectSettings::get_singleton()->globalize_path(dir->get_text()) along, which in the case of /Users/ as input does not touch the path at all.
I haven't done more testing with res:// and user:// paths, but those might be broken as well.
Steps to reproduce
On Windows: Set current_dir to a folder, then popup native FileDialog.
Be aware that Windows remembers the last opened folder in the dialog, so you might want to change what you're setting current_dir to, to avoid it "looking like it works" but not actually updating due to your script's code.
