gh issue create -w does not work for some repos #3457

Describe the bug

gh issue create -w does not open my browser for some repositories. Instead, it opens a Finder window for the current directory. It does work for this repo, though. (Indeed, I got here using gh issue create -w -R github.com/cli/cli.)

❯ gh --version
gh version 1.9.1 (2021-04-15)
https://github.com/cli/cli/releases/tag/v1.9.1

Steps to reproduce the behavior

git clone https://github.com/Homebrew/brew.git
cd brew
gh issue create -w

I can also reproduce this with a number of other repos. (e.g. other Homebrew repos, some of my own, LuaJIT, etc)

Instead of opening my browser, this opened a Finder window.

Expected vs actual behavior

I expected my browser to open a page that will allow me to open an issue. Instead, a Finder window for my current directory popped up.

It did not open my browser. (Also, is that an extra space after Opening?)
