Fails to open CD/DVD .iso file from recent dropdown list (filename contains ',')

Description

Running VirtualBox 4.3.10 r93012 on Windows 7 Ultimate SP1, I create a virtual machine and attach its CD/DVD drive to an existing file "C:\Installers\Windows 8.1 preview, WindowsBlue-ClientwithApps-64bit-English-X1899605.iso". If I try to select that file from the dropdown list of recent files - either on the same VM after "removing disk from virtual drive", or on a different VM (when the first is not running), it fails with:

Failed to open the optical disk file C:\Installers\Windows 8.1 preview.

Could not find file for the medium 'C:\Installers\Windows 8.1 preview' (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND).

Result Code: VBOX_E_FILE_ERROR (0x80BB0004)
Component: Medium
Interface: IMedium {05f2bbb6-a3a6-4fb9-9b49-6d0dda7142ac}
Callee: IVirtualBox {fafa4e17-1ee2-4905-a10e-fe7c18bf5554}
Callee RC: VBOX_E_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND (0x80BB0001)

If I then select "Choose a virtual CD/DVD disk file..." and select that same file, it works fine. It looks like the recent file entry is being truncated. The full name appears in the dropdown list, but not in the error message. If I rename the file to "C:\Installers\Windows 8.1 preview- WindowsBlue-ClientwithApps-64bit-English-X1899605.iso", replacing the comma with a hyphen, it works fine, so it appears to be truncating at the comma (which is, of course, a legitimate character in a Windows filename).

Sorry, priority should be "minor" or "trivial" not "major" - but I don't see how to change it after I've created the issue.
