Shortcuts to S3 Buckets cannot contain non-alpha characters

Yesterday I noticed that if either the folder path in S3 contains a dash or if the name of the shortcut does, Fabric will not recognize the Delta table and present an error message that I should create a files shortcut instead.  Below is a screenshot of the S3 folders and my table structure within the Lakehouse.  Only the S3 folder structure of "uber" worked with my Delta tables.

Hello @jobender 

Thanks for using the Fabrics community .
I had a hunch that the may be the alphanumeric character in the container name / folder name is making  the things fail . Since I dont have a  the S3 instance I tested the same with Azure and it works . 
I will request you to please go ahead and work with Microsoft support on this .

 Thanks
