Slash in name of symbol in library leads to No default footprint found and component cannot be placed in Schematic Editor

Description

If a symbol has a slash in its name, I'm not able to place it in the Schematic. When clicking on the item in the Place Symbols window, it shows "No default footprint" in the dropdown and the dropdown itself is disabled. No name, description or fields in the lower left corner are shown as well.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open a project and its schematic.
  2. Click Place -> Place Symbols -> search for components/items which have a slash in their names and select one of them (e.g.: C-4U7F/50V_TANT-D).
