Description

This is what I get when I start Theia in debug mode on Windows:

navigatable.ts:93 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: uri.withoutFragment is not a function
    at EditorManager.../node_modules/@theia/core/lib/browser/navigatable.js.NavigatableWidgetOpenHandler.serializeUri (navigatable.ts:93)
    at EditorManager.../node_modules/@theia/core/lib/browser/navigatable.js.NavigatableWidgetOpenHandler.createWidgetOptions (navigatable.ts:85)

    at EditorManager.../node_modules/@theia/core/lib/browser/widget-open-handler.js.WidgetOpenHandler.open (widget-open-handler.ts:80)

I have added this to my launch config:

"windows": {
  "env": {
    "NODE_ENV": "development",
    "NODE_PRESERVE_SYMLINKS": "1"
  }
},

to workaround eclipse-theia/theia#3590. And probably, the uri.withoutFragment error is related to the incorrect version of vsodee-uri at runtime: #6712.

Reproduction Steps

OS and Theia version:

Research direction
Investigate the version and runtime behavior of the 'vscode uri' dependency (see issue #6712). Focus on the file navigatable.ts at line 93 where uri.withoutFragment is called. Check if the function exists in the version used on Windows. Consider reproducing the issue in a Windows environment with the provided launch config. Also, examine the workaround regarding symlinks and NODE PRESERVE SYMLINKS.
